He organised the first motor show in Britain in 1895 and was almost single handedly responsible for the abolition of the requirement for a man with a red flag to walk in front of a horseless carriage. Amongst other things, the Dictionary sought to provide a more complete collection of the technical terms of the various sciences, arts, trades and professions than had yet been attempted. [6
