Nothing seems to have been brought together about the many diverse references to these machines to paint a picture of how such anchor chains came into use and how the first proving machines were developed and used. The main protagonist in this picture is Samuel Brown, whose work on chain link suspension bridges has been well documented, together with just one or two others, namely Thomas Brunton, a merchant, and Robert Flinn, a blacksmith. Brown and Brunton set up their works near Millwall in London, while Flinn worked on the Tyne. Within a few years such machines had spread to most ports and dockyards in the country.
