Robert Fulcher
of Cambridge
Maker of scientific instruments.
1879 A recording sphygmotonometer, which was made by and could be obtained from Mr. Robert Fulcher of 18 Panton Street, Cambridge, was described and illustrated in the Journal of Physiology.[1]
Robert Fulcher had been working in the Cavendish Laboratory, and Albert George Dew-Smith provided financial backing to start a business making scientific instruments in a loft at 18 Panton Street. They were joined by Horace Darwin. Fulcher left the business on 1 January 1881, and it was purchased by Darwin in partnership with Dew-Smith, and became the Cambridge Scientific Instrument Co.[2].
