David Stephens Brown

David Stephens Brown was an author on aero matters.

He exhibited a barometer in the Great Exhibition of 1851, and we see his address there: "1851 Great Exhibition: Official Catalogue: Class X.: David Stephens Brown ; 676A. BROWN, DAVID STEPHENS, Alexandria Lodge, Old Kent Road. Registered barometer, 39 feet high, range of scale 27 feet, manufactured by Casello and Co, 23 Hatton Garden." That address probably refers to Alexandra Lodge on Old Kent Road in London, according to [1] Maybe that was a place he got mail, whether he lived there or not.

Some of our records indicate his middle name was Stephen; treat the names as equivalent for now.

This person had 5 publications and 4 patents in this database.
