Regardless of his method, he is working to obtain a specific result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb, or one of【38】other objectives.
    Most of the people who developed the machines of the Industrial Revolution were inventors, not trained scientists. A few were both scientists and inventors.
