Abstract
The manufacturing firm established by Thomas Grubb and continued by his son Howard was a unique high-technology enterprise in nineteenth-century Ireland. For the best part of a century the Grubbs constructed many of the world's largest and best telescopes as well as producing a wide range of precision optical and mechanical instruments. In 1925 the daughter firm of Grubb-Parsons was founded in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and it continued the tradition of constructing large telescopes for another sixty years.
