Researchers evaluated individuals claiming the ability to bend spoons by stroking and found the demonstrations unconvincing. A pioneering figure in industrial research received overdue recognition for contributions to applied science. The material originates from a fifty-year-old entry in Nature's archive and includes a DOI link to the original record. The historical archive contains images, materials and language that may be offensive or harmful by twenty-first-century standards. Guidance is available for context about potentially objectionable historical content. The account contrasts skeptical empirical testing of paranormal claims with acknowledgment of overlooked contributions to industrial research.
