Edited sentence: As an additional recognition of his intellectual capabilities, he was allotted a post as a mathematics teacher at the Atheneum of Brussels, a great honour in those days.Before 1859, English insurance agencies had conducted a rough study of boiler explosions, and their conclusions were cause for worry.Robert Vinçotte also attended school in Liège and graduated with a brilliant record in 1865, gaining the titles of "ingénieur honoraire des mines" (honorary mining engineer) and "docteur en sciences physiques et mathématiques" (doctor in physical and mathematical sciences).Ses inspections étaient conduites de la façon la plus consciencieuse" The description might be hagiographic, yet it certainly corresponds with reports about his son Robert, who would also make a career in inspection, albeit of a very different kind.Since the conception, invention, and development of this device by such men as Denis Papin, Thomas Newcomen, and James Watt, it had often manifested its capabilities for disaster.The most striking example of such disasters is perhaps the Sultana tragedy that happened in the United States.The result of these inspections was a 75 percent decrease in accidents.This drove one of them, the "Boiler Insurance and Steam Power Company", to create an inspection service for the boilers they insured.Vinçotte's research area was noted with interest: in 1872 Maurice Urban, a director of the National Railway Company of Belgium, asked him to take charge of a new organisation, which would be created for the purpose of inspecting steam boilers in factories.While teaching, Vinçotte deepened his explorations of a growing problem: the explosion of steam boilers
