	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Thomas Crapper and the Toilet
		But although Thomas Crapper may not have been a man of importance to his contemporaries, he was indeed a real person, a sanitary engineer in 19th century London who ran his own plumbing concern, who took out several patents on plumbing-related devices, and whose name can still be spotted on manhole covers around
		Although Thomas Crapper took out nine plumbing patents between 1881 and 1896, none of these patents was for the "valveless water-waste preventer" he is often credited with having invented.
		Many types of siphonic systems were patented in the 1880s, but none by a Crapper until George Crapper, Thomas' nephew, was awarded an 1897 patent for "improvements in or relating to automatic syphon flushing tanks." Crapper may have sold or installed water closets, but he didn't have much to do with their development.

		By 1858, George Jennings popularized public lavatories, and in 1885, Twyford developed the first trapless toilet, “Unites.” It was a one-piece bowl and freestanding unit on a pedestal, which eliminated the problem of leaky joints.
		Andrew Grabowski, historian of the International Thomas Crapper Society is quick to point out that Crapper holds nine patents: four for improvements to drains, three for water closets, one for manhole covers and the last for pipe joints.
		Thomas never invented the most famous product attributed to him, the “silent valveless water waste preventer,” a syphonic discharge system that allowed a toilet to flush effectively when the cistern was only half full (8).

		Shortly after this Sir Thomas Crapper, often mistakenly believed to have invented the flushing lavatory, came on the scene.
		Until Sir Thomas came along, for example, most British cisterns had been fitted with a valve - basically a large plug which, when pulled from its hole by a yank of a chain, sent water into the bowl (this remains the design in many European loos).
		Sir Thomas developed the siphon system, where water is sucked through a U-bend in a pipe before being let into the loo so it cannot leak.

	Flush toilet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Tank type toilets waste the energy in the water by converting the potential energy of 137 feet (the "head" of pressure in typical city watermains) times acceleration due to gravity, into something like only 18 inches or so above the bowl.
		This system, invented by Thomas Crapper and common in the UK, uses a storage tank similar to that used in the flush valve system above.
		The user pushes a lever or button, forcing the water into a siphon (not to be confused with the bowl siphon) which empties the entire tank into the bowl.

		Thomas Crapper is an elusive figure: Most people familiar with his name know him as a celebrated figure in Victorian England, an ingenious plumber who invented the modern flush toilet; others believe him to be nothing more than a hoax, the whimsical creation of a satirical writer.
		Reyburn's "biography" of Crapper has often been dismissed as a complete fabrication, as some of his other works (most notably Bust-Up: The Uplifting Tale of Otto Titzling and the Development of the Bra) are obvious satirical fiction.
		Although Flushed with Pride is, like Bust-Up, a tongue-in-cheek work full of puns, jokes, and exaggerations, Reyburn did not invent the person of Thomas Crapper as he did Otto Titzling.

	What are the origins of the toilet? in The AnswerBank: Home & Garden
		It is said that King Minos of Greece had the first flushing toilet 2,800 years ago, but it was the Romans who first built latrines (holes in the round) over running water to carry waste away and also built the first underground sewers.
		Master potters such as Thomas Twyford developed the first integrated, trapless systems made from china, and the toilet became a status symbol in Victorian houses where they were plumbed in to the new urban sewerage systems.
		During the early 20th century the cistern was gradually lowered closer to the bowl until it became one unit and gradually developed lower flush models which used much less water than previously, but apart from this the essential technology remains very much the same.
