[edit] Birth date
2nd July or 5th July -> [1]? --MacRusgail 20:41, 8 January 2006 (UTC) I have heard of a theoretical construct called a "Rankine disk". Having to do with marine propeller efficiencies. I'm not positive that this is the same rankine, but the name is the same, and the approximate time matches my recollection.
- Rankine did work in naval architecture so it is plausible but I don't have any exact details either. Cutler 08:48, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Getting better
This page is getting much better by the day, but there are still a number of sections that need work. Unfortunately I don't have the expertise in all the necessary areas, but I would hope that eventually we can raise this to feature article status, if not on the front page, then certainly on the Scotland portal.--MacRusgail 15:19, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
