81 Foyn, Svend
SUBJECT AREA: Ports and shipping[br]b. 1809 Tønsberg, Norwayd. after 1873[br]Norwegian founder of the modern whaling industry; sea captain and sealer.[br]Svend Foyn's background typified the best of the Norwegian merchant marine: good seamanship, deep religious faith and an investigative and adventurous approach to life based on sound commercial judgement. After the period of training normal to his time, Foyn became a shipmaster and then followed the sealer's trade. By the early 1860s he had amassed a considerable sum of money and began to look around for an area of further conquest. He built whale catchers and operated them with scientific care, and by 1862 his work was recognized in Norway, Scotland and some other countries as personifying the whaling industry. Foyn's inventive approach to this new trade ensured that innovative ideas were accepted and that his inventions—such as the rubber accumulator, the recoil absorber and the harpoon braking system—became an accepted part of the whaler's trade. It is said that his first harpoon gun, invented in 1864, weighed 1 ton. Foyn designed a special whaling winch in 1873 that was protected by patent, the same year that the Norwegian Government granted him a ten-year monopoly on his system for catching whales.[br]Further ReadingJ.H.Harland, 1992, Catchers and Corvettes, the Steam Whalecatcher in Peace and War 1860–1960, Rotherfield, East Sussex: Jean Boudriot.P.Budker, 1958, Whales and Whaling, London: Harrap.FMW -
82 Hutchinson, Sir Jonathan
SUBJECT AREA: Medical technology[br]b. 23 July 1828 Selby, Yorkshire, Englandd. 26 June 1913 Haslemere, Surrey, England[br]English physician and surgeon, ophthalmologist, syphilologist, neuropathologist and inventor of the spirometer for the measurement of lung volumes.[br]Born of Quaker stock, he was educated at home and apprenticed in 1845 to Caleb Williams, apothecary and surgeon of York. It was during this period that he developed and described his spirometer, which he had used in testing 121 sailors, 24 pugilists and wrestlers and 4 giants and dwarfs.In 1850 he left York to complete his medical training at St Bartholomew's Hospital. By 1859 he was on the staff of the London Hospital as well as the many other specialist hospitals, including the Royal London Ophthalmic, the Blackfriars Hospital for Skin Diseases and the Royal Lock, the multiplicity of which reflected the very wide variety of his interests and expertise.By 1863, having obtained the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons, he had been appointed full Surgeon to London Hospital and was also responsible for medical ophthalmology. In 1883 he was appointed Emeritus Professor, and for many years after was deeply involved in a wide variety of medical interests. A vivid and memorable teacher, his name has been given to a large number of conditions, particularly in the fields of syphilis and ophthalmology. His special gift was an acuity of observation coupled with the accumulation and collation of clinical facts.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsKnighted 1908. FRS 1882.
