Biographical / Historical
Brian Adams was the professional mathematician with the Hydrographic Department from 1945, retiring in 1980 as a Principal Civil Hydrographic Officer with the organisation’s Whitehall unit. His later researches made him the authority on the mathematical basis of Ordnance Survey mapping. He was also a great transport enthusiast and this archive reflects this interest.
