He left to organize the Pennsylvania Railroad's exhibits at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition; stayed in Chicago for a year organizing the Department of Industrial Arts at the Field Columbian Museum; and then returned to the Smithsonian, where he was curator of Mechanical Technology until his death in 1903. He played a key role in the preservation of the John Bull steam locomotive and its subsequent public displays by the Smithsonian Institution. (en)
