Francesc Santponç i Roca (Barcelona, 1756-1821) was a medical doctor with a special interest in Mechanics. In 1786, he became a member of the Royal Academy of Natural Sciences and Arts of Barcelona. In 1804, Santponç was asked by Jacint Ramon, the entrepreneur, to design a steam engine for spinning cotton and wool using Arkwright waterframes, which were known as English machines. Despite the secrecy of the technology, Santponç was able to construct Watt's double acting steam engine. In 1807, Santponç was appointed professor of the new School of Mechanics set up by the Board of Commerce of Catalonia. The activities of the School were interrupted in May 1808 because of the outbreak of the Peninsular War (1808-1814). Santponç joined the Spanish Army to serve as a medical doctor. In 1813, his regiment was stationed in Cadiz, where the Spanish Cortes were located. He consequently took advantage of this opportunity to present a project of Mechanical Schools based on the Barcelona model. The project summarises the creation of the School of Barcelona, describes the syllabuses of the courses, and analyses the value of teaching Mechanics to artisans, landowners, and manufacturers
