The technical working of massive platinum should be ascribed, however, to Thomas Cock, a brother-in-law of the platinum-refiner P. N. Johnson, rather than to Wollaston. Cock worked out the process in William Allen s laboratory at Plough Court and, at Allen s request, communicated it to Wollaston (51). According to G. Matthey, P. N. Johnson was the first to manufacture platinum on a commercial scale and the first to prepare a large and perfect sheet of the pure metal. James Lewis Howe has stated that Chabaneau s process was rediscovered by Knight and possibly also by Cock (72). 

Many people contributed enormously to the writing of this book. Experienced editor Ann Kostant, with her regular encouragement over many years, turned me from a would-be writer into a writer. Mathematician Allen Knutson set me on the trail of this particular topic. Physicist Walter Smith bore patiently with my disruptions of his undergraduate quantum mechanics course. Mathematicians Shlomo Sternberg and Roger Howe supported my funding requests.
