  Millard & Robinson 39 Sackville Street Lower. First listed in 1863, as Thomas Millard. From 1865 to 1887, Millard & Robinson. As John Tyndall was born in 1820 he would have been 45 years old when M and R established... He looks a lot younger here? Something amiss?

  Eminent British physicist. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Lodge

• Wystan said:

  In 1913, Lodge was President of the British Association, an organization of scientists there.

• swanq said:

  As well as making practical inventions, such as the spark plug, he studied telepathy and psychic phenomena. He was in the news around 1913 because he was giving speeches about his belief that personality survived after death and expected that a clear demonstration was close. For example, see NYT of 9/10/1913 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F01E0DB123FE633A...

• Wystan said:

  It was a challenge I couldn't resist, so I decided to put Lodge's immortality theory to the test this very morning. Imagine my astonishment when I was able to hold a telepathic conversation with him that lasted nearly thirty minutes! (He asked me not to reveal the details.)
