Ted ...... Thomas Crapper certainly contributed a ton of design and inventions to modern sewage systems and plumbing, but the flush toilet wasn't one of them. Lots of internet searching will confirm this. Where did I first find out about Thomas Crapper? Well, believe it or not my downstairs toilet is a Thomas Crapper brand, it's company brand logo is embedded right in the porcelain just like you might see Crane or American Standard, etc. I bought that toilet back in the 1980's on sale at a local hardware sale. Never heard of the guy till then (but often used the term "the crapper" for a toilet) but a little booklet came with the toilet and it had a bunch of stuff about Mr. Crapper and his contributions, but even that booklet clarified that someone else had invented the flush toilet and not our friend Tom. Here's a link which is quick to read, if you Google Thomas Crapper, a lot more info on his life can be found.
