In Memoriam

Thomas Crapper

died 1/17/1910 (b1837 date unknown.)

The patent for the Great Device was received in 1861, possibly on 1/17

The first was the Bishop of Chichester's daughter
She went in to pass some superfluous water
She pulled on the chain and the rising tide caught her
And nobody knew she was there.

(I was going to include a graphic of Mr Crapper's Great Device but I couldn't find a good one - sorry about that.)
