Joseph Whitworth
Sir Joseph Whitworth, 1st Baronet (21 December 1803 – 22 January 1887) was an English engineer, entrepreneur, inventor and philanthropist. In 1841, he devised the British Standard Whitworth system, which created an accepted standard for screw threads. Whitworth also created the Whitworth rifle, often called the 'sharpshooter' because of its accuracy and considered one of the earliest examples of a sniper rifle.〔Kilburn, Terence (1987) ''Joseph Whitworth: Toolmaker'', two editions, 1987 and 2002〕〔Kilburn, Terence ( ) ''Darley's Lady Bountiful'': Lady Louisa Whitworth〕〔. Reprinted by McGraw-Hill, New York and London, 1926 (); and by Lindsay Publications, Inc., Bradley, Illinois, (ISBN 978-0-917914-73-7).〕
At his death in 1887, he bequeathed much of his fortune for the people of Manchester, with the Whitworth Art Gallery and Christie Hospital partly funded by Whitworth's money. Whitworth Street and Whitworth Hall in Manchester are named in his honour. Whitworth was created a baronet on 7 October 1869.〔Whitworth, Joseph (1873) ''Miscellaneous papers on mechanical subjects: Guns and Steel''.
