The Bulova Chronograph Model #88510/01 that Scott wore on the lunar surface was a prototype ...
Sir Charles Scott Sherrington (27 November 1857 – 4 March 1952) was a British neurophysiologist.His experimental research established many aspects of contemporary neuroscience, including the concept of the spinal reflex as a system involving connected neurons (the "neuron doctrine"), and the ways in which signal transmission between neurons can be potentiated or depotentiated.
