Patronymic
A patronymic, or patronym, is a component of a personal name based on the given name of one's father, grandfather (avonymic), or an earlier male ancestor. Patronymics are still in use, including mandatory use, in many countries worldwide, although their use has largely been replaced by or transformed into patronymic surnames. Examples of such transformations include common English surnames such as Johnson (son of John). Origins of terms The usual noun and adjective in English is ''patronymic'', but as a noun this exists in free variation alongside ''patronym''. The first part of the word ''patronym'' comes from Greek πατήρ ''patēr'' "father" (GEN πατρός ''patros'' whence the combining form πατρο- ''patro''-); the second part comes from Greek ὄνυμα ''onyma'', a variant form of ὄνομα ''onoma'' "name". In the form ''patronymic'', this stands with the addition of the suffix -ικός (''-ikos''), which was originally used to form adjectives with the ...

Thomas Edmondson
Thomas Edmondson (30 June 1792 in Lancaster, England – 22 June 1851 in Manchester, England) was the inventor of the Edmondson railway ticket. He was a member of the Religious Society of Friends and originally worked at the Gillow cabinet making business in Lancaster. While working as a station master at Milton (later Brampton) on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, he devised the idea of a new type of railway ticket: a small piece of cardboard, pre-printed with journey details (as opposed to the then current hand-written paper bill). The tickets would be numbered by hand, and validated by a separate date-stamping press when purchased. He also invented and built a foot-operated version of the latter device. When the Manchester and Leeds Railway opened in 1839, Edmondson became the company's chief booking clerk at Manchester. The invention which made Edmondson's fortune was his final development: a machine which would print tickets in batches complete with the serial ...
