English: Thomas Brunton (1774-1833)
Thomas Brunton invented studded-link marine chain cable which replace hempen cables and is still in use today. The studs prevented cables from kinking in use as other types did. His idea was patented in 1813 after which he and his Brother William established a factory in Stepney. Thomas gained much support from ship owners in England and from the French navy. He was killed by a runaway horse.[1] |
