  Sir Frederick Augustus Abel - LoveToKnow 1911
The invention of the apparatus, legalized in 1879, for the determination of the flash-point of petroleum, was another piece of work which fell to him by virtue of his official position.
His first instrument, the open-test apparatus, was prescribed by the act of 1868, but, being found to possess certain defects, it was superseded in 1879 by the Abel close-test instrument (see Petroleum).
In electricity Abel studied the construction of electrical fuses and other applications of electricity to warlike purposes, and his work on problems of steel manufacture won him in 1897 the Bessemer medal of the Iron and Steel Institute, of which from 1891 to 1893 he was president.

 Ralph Rousseau Meulenbroeks: Gambomania
A well known Dutch music critic even coined the term "Gambomaniac" to desribe Meulenbroeks' passion for the instrument, and since then the artist has received numerous requests for a follow-up album.
It's a richly resonant instrumental recording of Meulenbroeks' solo playing, and it makes apparent why Meulenbroeks' releationship with this instrument is sometimes likened to a "love affair." Sensitive, passionate, dynamic.
