Born in 1749 in Yorkshire, Joseph Bramah through inquisitiveness, commercial acumen, and engineering skills solved practical problems of the time in such a way, that his contribution to the Industrial Revolution was as significant as Arkwright, Brunel, Maudsley, Stephenson and Watt.

In 1784, Joseph Bramah designed a round lock mechanism operated by a tubular key, of such complexity and security, that he put it in his shop window and offered a reward of 200 guineas to anyone who could open it.
In 1851, at the Great Exhibition in London, A.C Hobbs an American locksmith spent 52 hours spread over 16 days and claimed the prize, but the method and spirit under which it was claimed is commented on by the London Times under the heading of 'the Great Lock Controversy'.
222 years after its manufacture, the challenge padlock is displayed at the Science Museum in London.
