Eckley Brinton Coxe (June 4, 1839 – May 13, 1895) was an American mining engineer, businessman, state senator and philanthropist.[1][2][3] He was President of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in the year 1893-94. The Coxe Hall (1910) at Lehigh University, originally a mining laboratory, is named after him. Coxe was the second son of Charles Sidney Coxe (1791–1879) and Anna Maria Brinton (1801–1876). His grandfather was Tench Coxe, and he was a cousin of George B. McClellan.[4] Coxe graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1858, and continued to study mining in Europe. In 1865 he founded the Coxe Brothers and Company mining company, who opened their first mine in Drifton. In the next twenty years they grew out to become the largest independent producer of anthracite.[1] In 1880 Coxe was one of the original founders of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. In the same year and four years later was elected to the State senate.[1] Cox is also known for the invention of the travelling grate, which he patented in 1893 as Travelling Grate Furnace.[5] Publications
