Why Is Alfred Gordon Gaydon Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Alfred Gordon Gaydon was a leading spectroscopist and combustion scientist. He was brought up at Surbiton, Surrey, where he attended Kingston Grammar School. There he became a keen oarsman, later rowing for Imperial College, London, and Kingston Rowing Club. In 1929 he graduated in Physics from the Royal College of Science and, after a period of post graduate study there accepted a post at the Shirley Institute of the Cotton Research Association near Manchester.
