Whilst Rumford’s cannon boring experiments can be seen in direct relation to the establishment of the theory of heat, two other of his research projects [...] the importance of Lavoisier's work lies not in the fact that his system can be seen as the accepted theory – and actually Rumford’s work did not change this impression significantly, on the very contrary: [...] he did not agree with Joule's ideas at first, he became convinced and not only supported Joule's theory, but also started a successful collaboration with him. Thomson was skeptic about Joule’s experi-
