Edward Both
Edward Thomas Both (1908–1987) was an Australian inventor credited with the development of a number of medical, military and general-purpose inventions. These included a low-cost "iron lung", a humidicrib, the first portable electrocardiograph and the "visitel" – a forerunner to the modern fax machine. His inventions gained him an OBE in 1940, and his work led to Both being given the moniker of the "Edison of Australia". ==Early life== Edward Both was born to James Alexander Both and Lucy Victoria (née Thomas) in the town of Caltowie, (near Jamestown) in South Australia. His parents had five children, of which Edward Both was the eldest. He was schooled in the local area, attending Caltowie Public and Jamestown High schools, and proved to be a good student – sufficiently so that when he was sixteen Both began studying at the Physics Department at the University of Adelaide. There he caught the attention of Kerr Grant, a physics professor, who subsequently appointed him as his personal assistant.〔 In 1932 an electrocardiograph (ECG) developed by Both impressed Grant, and as a result Grant had a facility installed next to the University where Both could design and produce medical equipment.〔
