Talk:Edward Craven Walker

Untitled
I've removed the "See also" section. The "See also" section should be used for links that aren't already in the article, but have a one-step relationship to the subject of the article, and share that relationship with a feasibly small number of other subjects. All the links that were in the See also section were either a) already in the article, or b) not related to the subject except by the logic "they both have something to do with nudism", which is too broad of a standard. -- Antaeus Feldspar 03:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to point out that the "contraption" Walker found in the Pub most likely was Donald Dunnet's predecessor to the lavalamp, patented in 1950, under United Kingdom patent number: GB703924. The part about the "war time egg timer" most likely is part of the company's mythology, just as everything being told about that egg timer is based on speculation instead of hard facts. -80.135.155.128 (talk) 15:54, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

The later years - Mathmos
There are some errors in this section which i need to bring to your attention.

It was 1989 when Cressida Granger & David Mulley approached Craven. They took over the running of Crestworth, and renamed the company Mathmos in 1992 - after the bubbling force in the movie barbarella. Mathmos was NOT an existing company and it did not merge with Crestworth.

Mathmos continues to produce the Astro lamps in the same factory in Poole, Dorset today and did not move the production line abroad in 2003. Since 1990 the company has been owned soley by Cressida Granger.

Mathmos bought the original formular for the lamps from Craven, and it has been refined and improved over the years. Craven worked closely with Mathmos acting as a consultant up until his death.

Name confusion
His surname seems to be a bit uncertain, sometimes he is referred to as Craven sometimes Walker and on online newspaper article Craven-Walker. I wonder what name wasWayne Jayes (talk) 05:46, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
