Robert Davis (inventor)
Sir Robert Henry Davis (1870 – 1965) was an English inventor and director of the Siebe Gorman company.〔(Robert Davis in the ''Ashtead.com'' website )〕 His main invention was the Davis Submerged Escape Apparatus, an oxygen rebreather that Davis patented for the first time in 1910,〔(Sir Robert Davis invention as mentioned in a timeline published by the ''Hawaiiscubadiving.com'' website )〕 inspired by the rebreathers that Henry Fleuss patented as of 1876. Davis breathing set was destined to allow British submarine crews to escape when their ship started to sink.
While still directing Siebe Gorman Davis was the first British to buy a licence from the Cousteau-Gagnan Aqua-Lung〔(''Rediscovering The Adventure Of Diving From Years Gone By'', an article by Andrew Pugsley. )〕 (from the French company La Spirotechnique), starting commercialization of scuba sets in Britain as of 1948. Siebe Gorman aqualungs ended being known under the name of ''tadpole sets''.〔(The Siebe Gorman ''tadpole set'' is here described by a French collector. )〕
Davis Road in Chessington (where Siebe Gorman's factory was for a while) was named after him.
