 Renshaw and the Tachistoscope   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
Renshaw has done work in increasing the limits and subtlety of perception of smell and taste; in increasing acuity and field of sight (of which his work in reading speed and comprehension is just a small part); and in increasing the power and strength of memory.
Renshaw claims that through the use of a super-fast timing mechanism, he has been able to achieve flashes on the tachistoscope screen that can be measured in millionths of a second, and that two students have been able to grasp nine-digit numbers at 3/1,000,000 of a second.
He challenges Renshaw's handling of data, stating that in the present case the children were not of equal native ability, and that their teaching was not of equal competence.

WRR was born at Handforth, Cheshire in 1845.
The business later ran into difficulties and Renshaw was adjudged bankrupt in November 1909 with liabilities of £18,000 and assets of £1,000, the deficit being caused by his attempts to keep the business operating.
Renshaw didn't leave much of a mark historically, but one place where you can find an example of his work is at Coleham Pumping Station, at Longden Coleham, Shrewsbury in Shropshire which contains two compound rotative beam engines which were built there by Renshaw in 1897/1898 and remained in use until 1970.

My mother tells many stories her father related to her, particularly during his first 60 years before he married, such as he was the unidentified redhead who rode with Jesse James, he was friends with Belle Starr, he had an Indian wife, but, of course, none of this can be documented.
I hope someone knows something about the parentage of Moses, because there are a few Renshaw lines he might be a member of, but without knowing his parents, or confirmation of his siblings, I am not about to hold my breath.

Other policies, including perhaps Askin’s proposal for the legalisation of SP bookmaking, may also have been ill-judged; campaigning on a promise to allow increases in controlled rents, said Treatt, who lost the seat of Bligh, was ‘like going over Niagara in a barrel’.
He may also have been helped by the popularity of the new prime minister, (Sir) John Gorton, whose transfer to the House of Representatives was formalised on the same day as Askin’s re-election, and by the unpopularity of the federal Labor Party’s position on the war in Vietnam.
