Irvine, Ayrshire, KA11 4LF, UK

Established in 1859 by Alfred Charles Cossor following a period of apprenticeship by the founder as a glass blower. In 1904, Accoson produced their first glass manometer, using their glass blowing skills, known as the sphygmomanometer. A year later, Russian surgeon Nikolai Korotkoff first described the technique to measure diastolic pressure. In 1921, Frank Cossor was joined by his son Frank Gordon Cossor, and the company expanded its products to include all types of thermometers, hydrometers and syringes. Sphygmomanometers became the main product of the company, with Adrian Cossor joining the company in 1966, the fourth generation to do so. https://www.accoson.com/about/ International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes AXIELLNET\RCPIACusan 22/01/2025 AXIELLNET\RCPIACusan 22/01/2025 225f6e21-108b-4e3a-b7ee-23352391aec4
