Interesting article Pete.
My source attibutes the patent to Mr Crapper as well, registered interestingly enough, on todays date in 1861.
I’d have thought if someone elses patented it and sold the patent to Mr C then the original person woul dhave been on the patent registery?
I’ll send this link back to my source anyway for his comment.
Cheers
