Turner
Someone should find out the first name (and preferably, also date of birth, date of death (if applicable), and significance) of this said person "TURNER"; I went through all the names listed on the Turner disambiguation page, but could not find any that had invented the sclerometer; the only ones who seemed to be even possible candidates to me are David W. Turner (but 1962 was a long time after 1896, rather odd if his two greatest accomplishments were this far apart) and Thomas Wyatt Turner (but only 19 in 1896, and not a geologist or chemist).

 * Done. His full name was Prof. Thomas Turner. --Thorwald (talk) 02:16, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Etymology of the name
The word 'scleros' in greek and ancient greek is not σκλερος it is σκληρός. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CF%83%CE%BA%CE%BB%CE%B7%CF%81%CF%8C%CF%82 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexsah (talk • contribs) 22:37, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Turner sclerometer and Schmidt sclerometer: not to be confused
This article presently only relates to the Turner sclerometer for measuring the hardness of metals and minerals and not to the Schmidt sclerometer for determining the compressive strength of concrete. The objectives and operating principles of these two instruments are different. Shinkolobwe (talk) 18:31, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
