Tom, Yes he was important to the advancement in the industry. But his value is not all crapp. ! ! !

Tom, that’s called a ballcock in the UK

I thought he did something. Maybe, the float valve? The ball that floats on the top of the cistern water and turns the water off at the right height.
Not invented the float valve but first to apply it to a cistern.
Not sure?? Vague memory.

Tom, he manufactured the early flushing toilets and developed the ballcock Personally, I'm grateful to both of them!

Wow ... so his name lives on in the 'Going for a crap' - similar to an Aussie Jockey Edgar Brit : gone down in history in Aussie slang terms where 'going for an edgar' is part of the vernacular !
