The Burden Iron Works was an iron works and industrial complex on the Hudson River and Wynantskill Creek in Troy, New York.  It once housed the Burden Water Wheel, the most powerful vertical water wheel in history.  It is widely believed that George Washington Gale Ferris Jr., inventor of the Ferris wheel, had occasion to observe the wheel while a student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.  The iron works site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as an archaeological site in 1977.  The Burden Ironworks Office Building was previously listed in 1972. Donald H.

George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. (February 14, 1859 – November 22, 1896) was an American engineer.  He is mostly known for creating the original Ferris Wheel for the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition. Masayuki Nagare (流 政之 , Nagare Masayuki , born February 14, 1923) is a modernist Japanese sculptor, nicknamed "Samurai Artist" for his commitment to traditional Japanese aesthetics.  He was born in 1923 in Nagasaki to Kojuro Nakagawa, the founder and president of Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto.  As a teenager, he received training in the martial arts of a samurai, particularly swordsmanship, and lived in several temples in Kyoto, where he observed the patterns of rocks, plants, and water created by traditional landscape artists.  In 1942, he enrolled at Ritsumeikan University, where he studied Shintoism and was apprenticed to a master swordsmith.  He left university in 1943 to join the Imperial Japanese Navy and did not return to complete his studies.  Nagare served as a Zero Fighter pilot in the Pacific War.  After the War, he traveled all over Honshu Island until the mid-1950s, witnessing the desolation of the ruined countryside, developing a thorough understanding of the Japanese landscape, and becoming interested in local crafts such as pottery.  His fascination with graveyard tombstones that had survived wartime bombing led to his longtime choice of stone as his preferred medium. Murray Raney (October 14, 1885 – March 3, 1966) was an American mechanical engineer born in Carrollton, Kentucky.  He was the developer of a nickel catalyst that became known as Raney nickel, which is often used in industrial processes and scientific research for the hydrogenation of multiple covalent bonds present in molecules. William (Bill) David Mensch, Jr. (born February 9, 1945), is an American electrical engineer born in Quakertown, Pennsylvania.  He is best known as a major contributor to the design of the Motorola 6800 8-bit microprocessor, part of the small team that created the MOS Technology 6502 (led by Chuck Peddle), and designer of the 16-bit successor to the 6502, the 65816. Leslie Earl Robertson (born February 12, 1928) is an American engineer.  He was the lead structural engineer of the Twin Towers of the original World Trade Center in New York City.
