Sherlock Holmes: Trifles

"Very well thumbed, I assure you" [HOUN]    "The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb" marks the only time that Watson has been responsible for bringing a case to Sherlock Holmes. Go ahead and look it up. We'll wait.   Meanwhile, the few engineers we meet in the Canon are of varied types. But Bliss Austin, BSI, in his masterful magnum opus "Thumbing His Way to Fame," from the Baker Street Journal Vol. 1, No. 4 (Old Series) draws out one or two scientific details that seemed to have escaped Holmes but that may have been more apparent to a trained engineer.   Please leave us a rating and review on the podcast player of your choice, and consider supporting our efforts through Patreon or PayPal.     Links The Engineer's Thumb I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere Episode 75: Bliss Austin   Music credits Performers: Uncredited violinist, US Marine Chamber Orchestra  Publisher Info.: Washington, DC: United States Marine Band  Copyright: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0   --
