Biography:
Wils was instrument maker in Haarlem in the early seventeenth century. In 1628 he is mentioned as a surveyor, astronomer, and fortification engineer. He drafted the ground plan of the St. Bavo church in Haarlem. In 1634-1638 he was a member of the St. Luke guild (guild of artists), where he was part of the section 'mixed arts', meaning: 'geometry, architecture, and mathematics'. He died before 1648. Wils' book on mathematics was published by his pupil G. Kinckhuysen as: 'Wis-konstige wercke' (Amsterdam 1648).

Biography:
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.

Biography:
Mathematician and instrument maker from Antwerp, son of Gilles Coignet. He was a versatile person, who taught mathematics (from 1568 to 1580) and made instruments (from 1572 on). Coignet also served as a mathematician to Archduke Albrecht VII of Austria and his wife, Archduchess Isabella (sovereigns of the Habsburg Netherlands). Coignet participated in sieges of Hulst (1598) and of Oostende (1602-1604). He supervised the building of several fortresses near the Schelde and wrote several books, among others revisions of mathematical books written by V. Mennher, W.Raets and A.Ortelius. His most famous work is Nieuwe Onderwijsinghe (Antwerp 1580). Coignet also made astronomical and mathematical instruments, such as compasses, armillary spheres, astrolabes and geographical maps.

Biography:
Jan Marten Kleman started making mathematical, optical, physical, nautical and astronomical instruments from his workshop on the Bergstraat in Amstyerdam, in 1781. In 1800 he moved his firm to the Nieuwendijk, first in 'In de Blauwe Bril' and later to 'In de Groene Bril'. In 1801 his fame had risen even more, and when others started imitating his instruments, Kleman started signing all his instruments. He was a member of the Felix Meritis Society since 1802, and appointed Instrument maker to the Royal Netherlands Navy in 1808. In 1809 his son Bernard joined the firm. In the same year, Kleman won a gold medal at an industrial exhibition ("Nijverheidstentoonstelling") in Amsterdam and his firm received the title Royal ("Koninklijk"). In 1820 Bernard died at a young age. Ten years later, in 1830, the business was taken over by Carel Swebilius, who in 1847 moved it to the Bantammersteeg no.16. In 1840 Kleman made a silver sextant for Prince Willem Frederik Hendrik.

Hendrik van Lantschot, watchmaker and surveyor at Middelburg. In April 1682, he obtained a patent (from the States of Zealand, the States of Holland and the States-General) for an invention to determine longitude at sea. With Gilles van de Gilde, he requested another patent on 28 Jan. 1683 om "een seecker curieus tin ovael werck alleen te mogen maken". Van Lantschot resided on the Dam, near the Engelse Beurs. He also made astrolabes. He published: Redeneering (dienende als voorlooper) over de mogelijkheid der twee (onder de wiskundigen) zoo lang betwiste wetenschappen, namelijk 't perpetuum mobile artificiale oft konstig gedurig bewegen en de vinding der lengte (Midd. z.j.).

Klaas (or Claes) Jansz Vooght was a prominent mathematical practitioner. On 3 April 1662 he was admitted as surveyor by the Council of Holland and from about 1675 onward he was active as an instructor of navigation at Amsterdam. He was the author of a large number of works of navigation, including 'De dopgudze, ofte Een klare uytbreydingh des zons verscheynsichts' (Amsterdam 1676). He also published a translation of Euclid (1695) and a set of trigonometric tables. He designed a 'Quadrans Astromomicus', published in 1681. He contributed a translation of a Latin poem by Jeremiah Horrox to Dirck Rembrantsz entitled 'By-voeghsel op de Nederduytse Astronomia en sonne stilstant' (Amsterdam 1677), together with some poetry of his own. Moreover, in Dirck Rembrantsz' 'Antwoort op den brief van Jacobus Coccaeus' (Amsterdam 1661) there is a poem signed C. I. V.
Collection: Museum Boerhaave (copy of 'Antwoort op den brief van Jacobus Coccaeus' has a note in a seventeenth-century hand, which explains: 'C. I. Vooght, Geometra').
