Notes and Questions

I suggest the possibility that the above mentioned "H. Elliot, Major of Engineers - Engineer Secretary"
might be George. H. Elliot as reported, among other online sources, here https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page:Popular_Science_Monthly_Volume_6.djvu/384.
Therefore the illegible word preceding "H. Elliot" could indeed be his first name "George"
