	Encyclopedia Brunoniana \| Holley, Alexander Lyman
		Alexander Lyman Holley (1832-1882), engineer and inventor, was born in Lakeville, Connecticut, on July 20, 1832.
		His early fondness for mechanics and his distaste for classical studies made him an ideal applicant to Brown in 1850, just when President Francis Wayland’s new curriculum was introduced, replacing some of the courses in ancient languages with electives including engineering.
		In 1857, at the age of twenty-six, he gave up his paper and went with Colburn to Europe to study European railroads with a view to improving American railways and published a report on this subject.

		Holley arrived at such a position through detailed experience with two of the principal mechanical technologies of his era, railroads and steel manufacture.
		Holley learned the craft of technical publicity not by hiring a "leading article writer" as Bessemer had done but by being one.

		Alexander Lyman Holley says, in his book on Ordnance and Armour, written in 1863, that at that date, the Bessemer process was to be tried on a working scale at Troy, in the State of New York, by Messrs.
		Holley seems to have at once broken loose from the restraints of his foreign experience, and to have been impressed with the capabilities of the new process.
		After building such a plant, he began to meet the difficulties in manufacture, among the most serious of which was the short duration of the vessel bottoms, and the time required to cool off the vessel to a point at which it was possible for workmen to enter and make new bottoms.

		Daniel Gooch, Norman Scott Russell (Scott Russell's son), Alexander Lyman Holley and Zerah Colburn among the passengers.
		Though a failure at its original purpose of passenger travel, she eventually found a role as an oceanic telegraph cable-layer, and the Great Eastern remains one of the most important vessels in the history of shipbuilding — the Trans-Atlantic cable had been laid, which meant that Europe and America now had a telecommunications link.

	Square’s fountain to be moved; water jets will move musicians
		By votes of 10 yes and 1 no they approved moving the Giuseppe Garibaldi and Alexander Lyman Holley statues to the northern areas of the ovals they currently occupy on the park's central east-west pathway.
		In his presentation of the plan, John Krawchuk, Parks director of historic preservation, said relocating the fountain would be a stunning improvement.
		Where both statues are now is an impediment to people walking on the pathway, plus the Holley monument gets doused with dog urine since it's near the dog run, so it's best to move them, Parks said.
