Maurice Lemaître (mechanical engineer)
text:
Maurice Lemaître was a Belgian mechanical engineer who developed a steam locomotive exhaust system first used by the Nord-Belge railway company, a subsidiary of the French-owned Chemins de Fer du Nord. The Lemaître exhaust – which featured a blastpipe with five nozzles in a circular pattern exhausting up a large-diameter chimney, plus a variable-area nozzle exhausting up the centre – produced an efficiency gain of around 10%. The design was later improved by the Argentine engineer Livio Dante Po
