海勒姆·斯蒂文斯·马克沁是战争史上绕不开的一个名字。这位重机枪发明者1840年2月25日生于美国,他出身贫寒,14岁时成为一个马车制造商的学徒。他没有多少文化修养,但却天生有一个爱发明的脑袋。1886年他获得烫发熨斗的专利,后来发明了照明用煤气发生器和机车车头灯。1883年,他去了英国。 Helem Stevens Markham is a name that can not be wound up in the history of war. Born in the United States on February 25, 1840, this heavy machine gun inventor was poor and became an apprentice to a wagon manufacturer at the age of 14. He did not have much cultural accomplishment, but he naturally had a loving brain. In 1886 he won a patent perm iron, and later invented the lighting of gas generators and locomotive headlights. In 1883, he went to England.
