Ernest Lancaster-Jones

Ernest Lancaster-Jones (8 November, 1891, Radcliffe, Greater Manchester–1945) was a curator at the Science Museum, London.[1] He was Keeper of Physics at the museum in 1923 and developed a taxonomy for the museum's acoustics collection using five sections: the production, control, recording and measurement of sound, as well as how acoustics were applied in science, technology and industry.[2] In 1935 he succeeded Samuel C. Bradford as Keeper of the Science Library.[3]
