Life

Julius Quaglio came from the artistic family of the Quaglios , his father was the theater painter Simon Quaglio (1795–1878), but, unlike the other members of the family, was not artistically active. He studied at the Technical University of Munich and then worked at Cramer-Klett in Nuremberg, one of the leading companies in iron foundry and mechanical engineering and a predecessor company of MAN with the Augsburger Maschinenfabrik .

A focus of his work was the introduction of water gas as a fuel and the construction of gas factories in Austria, Hungary and Sweden as well as the coke production in German, Austrian and Belgian mines. In addition, he dealt with considerations on atomistics and in particular with descriptive representations of the periodic table , some of which were based on treatises by Max Josef Pettenkofer , who dealt with the regular intervals of equivalent weights, and in particular Heinrich Adolph Baumhauer . This resulted in Julius Quaglio's spiral system, in which the main and subsidiary groups each formed a sector of a circle. However, this system could not prevail over the current presentation, which is based on the discoveries of Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev and Lothar Meyer .
