Holley, Alexander Lyman

(1832–82) mechanical engineer, metallurgist; born in Lakeville, Conn.

He wrote many technical articles (usually under the name "Tubal Cain"). In 1863 he went to England to purchase the American rights to the Bessemer process, and then supervised construction of the first such U.S. plant at Troy, N.Y.
