Why Is Thomas Allibone Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Thomas Edward Allibone, CBE, FRS was an English physicist. His work included important research into particle physics, X-rays, high voltage equipment, and electron microscopes. Early life Thomas Edward Allibone was born at Nether Hallam, Sheffield in 1903, son of Henry James Allibone, a schoolteacher, and Eliza , a farmer's daughter. He was educated at the Central School in Sheffield followed by a Pass degree in physics at Sheffield University. In 1925, Allibone was awarded a scholarship by the Metropolitan-Vickers company to study the properties of zirconium. He left Sheffield in 1926 to continue his postgraduate studies at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge University. At Cambridge, he worked in the prestigious Cavendish Laboratory, with eminent scientists such as Rutherford, Cockcroft, and Walton. The use of high voltages to accelerate particles into each other became of particular interest to him. After gaining a first class honours degree in physics from Cambridge, Allibone returned to Metropolitan-Vickers, to take charge of their high-voltage research laboratory at Trafford Park, Manchester.
