Means
HG Wells' Time Traveler sits on the Time Machine and fast forwards or rewinds time.
Poul Anderson's Time Patrolmen sit on their timecycles and jump to other spatiotemporal coordinates.
Anderson's Jack Havig stands still and fast forwards or rewinds time.
Ends
The Time Traveler visits the Morlocks and Eloi, then sees the Further Vision, before returning to the nineteenth century.
The Time Patrol, founded by the post-human Danellians, guards the history that leads to its founders.
Havig leads a group of time travelers that becomes the Star Masters.
Inheritance
Havig and the Patrol are the Time Traveler's literary heirs.

And Anderson's time traveling stories SURPASSED those of H.G. Wells.
