Everything about Eugene Bourdon totally explained

Eugène Bourdon (b. Paris, France, April 8, 1808, d. Paris, September 29, 1884) was a watchmaker and engineer who in 1849 invented the Bourdon gauge a pressure measuring instrument still in use today. It could measure pressures up to 100,000 pounds per square inch (690 MPa or 6800 atm), something that had previously been impossible. With the rapid building of steam engines and their associated boilers, many accidents had resulted from this inability. Eugene Bourdon founded the Bourdon Sedeme Company to manufacture his invention.
   The American patent rights to Eugene Bourdon's gauge were bought by Edward Ashcroft in 1852.
