He turned his hand to numerous problems and accumulated a raft of patents throughout his career. Among his designs for cranes and hoists are drawings for stuffing boxes, locomotives, pendulum pumps and there is even a tantalising reference to him having designed a car although we can find no firm confirmation of that.

He was a regular contributor to the publication The Engineer, writing letters and publishing information about his patented devices.
