Mieczysław Batsch made a career in technology at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.
The record lists Mieczysław Batsch as Polish mechanical engineer, footballer (1900–1977).
Mieczysław Batsch was born at Lviv in 1900. His recorded nationality is Poland. He was educated at Lviv Polytechnic.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.
He worked as association football player and mechanical engineer.
Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.
Working from Poland shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Mieczysław Batsch died in 1977, aged 77. What survives is the work, which is the only durable form of a reputation.
