Biography:
Idsaard Gerbens van den Velde was a scientific instrument maker from Franeker. In 1768 he is mentioned there as a telescope maker. According to Van Swinden, Van den Velde 'made excellent telescopes'. In about 1780 Van den Velde moved to Haarlem as a general scientific instrument maker. At a later date he joined the scientific instrument factory of Jacob Hendrik Onderdewijngaart Canzius in Delft, which existed between 1797 and 1809.

Biography:
Scientific instrument maker from Delft. Son of the instrument maker Gerard Bernard Anton Filbri (c. 1769-1830). He married Johanna Elisabeth Christiana Samson (d. Delft 1904). After his father's death in 1830, Filbri took over his workshop in Delft. Thanks to P.J. Kipp, who in 1834 established an instrument trading company in Delft, the Filbri firm did rather well. The Kipp company did not have a workshop of its own until 1881. Since its foundation the company contracted out the manufacture and repair of instruments to G.B.H. Filbri's workshop. Between 1830 and 1880 Filbri made surgical, physical and chemical instruments, mostly sold by Kipp, but also retailed by J. Pohl in The Hague. In 1857 Filbri owned a house at the Molslaan. In the Delft Adresboekje of that year he is the only Filbri mentioned as instrumentmaker. In 1880, for reasons of health Filbri had to stop working. Nevertheless the Delft Adresboekje of 1881 mentions 'G.B.H. Filbri, instrumentmaker' at Oosteinde 15. His son Johannis Maarten Filbri continued the workshop at the same address, but when in 1881 J.W. Giltay became the director of the Kipp company their cooperation with the Filbri workshop was seized. Then two of his sons (G.B.H. jr. en M.P.) already had left Delft.

Plancius was clergyman but also astronomer, cartographer, geographer, mathematician and instrument maker. He came to Amsterdam in 1585 and was teacher in navigation. He made an instrument for finding the longitude on sea (for which he received a patent of the Staten van Holland). He delivered globes and sea maps: it is uncertain whether he made these himself. Plancius 'made' three globes with Pieter van den Keere. Plancius was the author and Van den Keere the publisher. Was associated with, among others: Jodocus Hondius, Hessel Gerrits and Willem Barents.

Scientific instrument maker in Leeuwarden. Originally trained as a carpenter, Foppes eventually became a surveyor and scientific instrument maker. Around 1750, he settled as a telescope and microscope maker. He made also medical, mathematical and surveying instruments. He made two trigonometric machines for Stadholder Willem IV, one of which was donated to the Leiden University by Willem's widow, Anna van Hannover. Foppes made astronomical observations, in 1760 the Gedeputeerde Staten of Friesland awarded him a grant of 250 guilders to build a device for observing the transit of Venus, in June 1761. He was also assigned an observation site, the Cammingaburg just outside Leeuwarden. Foppes Dongjuma also invented a magnetic variometer, probably in 1765.
