Comment on Terrible liquid coils

apparently in 1857 “I have been informed by a European acquaintance” was sufficient sourcing for something to be published in Scientific American :)

somewhat relatedly, it’s 2025 now so you can actually link to a thing instead of just posting a screenshot of it: scientificamerican.com/…/that-giant-sucking-sound…

i wonder why this screenshot (and OP’s text which includes the fact that this comes from scientific american, which is not included in the screenshot) both say 1847 while the text on the SciAm website says it’s actually from 1857 🤔
