  • Richard Scott Perkin (1906 – 1969) was an American entrepreneur. At an early age he developed an interest in astronomy, and began making telescopes and grinding lenses and mirrors. He only spent a year in college studying chemical engineering before he began working at a brokerage firm on Wall Street. During the 1930s he met Charles Elmer when the latter was presenting a lecture. The two had a mutual interest in astronomy and decided to go into business together. In 1937, they founded Perkin-Elmer as an optical design and consulting company. Richard served as president of the company until 1960, then became chairman of the board. The crater Perkin on the Moon was named after him, while Elmer was named after his business partner. Perkin was married to Gladys Frelinghuysen Talmage who became CEO after he died. A decade later, Gladys commissioned a commemorative history to be written. One hundred copies were printed and distributed to friends. (en)
  • Richard "Dick" Scott Perkin (1906 – 1969) è stato un imprenditore statunitense. Da giovane si appassionò di astronomia e incominciò a costruire telescopi e a molare lenti e specchi. Frequentò un corso di ingegneria chimica ma abbandonò gli studi dopo solo un anno ed iniziò a lavorare nel mondo della finanza presso la Borsa di New York. Nel 1937 con un suo amico, Charles Wesley Elmer, anche lui appassionato di astronomia fondò a New York la società PerkinElmer per la produzione di strumentazione ottica e scientifica divenendone Presidente fino al 1960 per poi assumere la carica di Presidente del Consiglio di Amministrazione fino alla data della sua morte. Sostenne la ricerca astronomica in particolare presso l'Harvard College Observatory. Sua moglie Gladys divenne CEO della PerkinElmer dopo la sua morte e come suo marito sostenne la ricerca astronomica facendo parte di numerosi comitati in tale ambito. A Richard Scott Perkin la UAI ha intitolato il cratere lunare Perkin e, insieme a sua moglie Gladys T. Perkin, l'asteroide 2482 Perkin. (it)
  • 理查德“迪克”斯科特·珀金(Richard "Dick" Scott Perkin)是一位美国企业家,1906年生,1969年去世,终年63岁。 斯科特·珀金从小就对天文学产生了兴趣,并开始磨制透镜和镜片、制作望远镜。在他开始进入华尔街一家经纪公司工作之前,他只在大学学了一年的化工。 20世纪30年代,他遇见了查尔斯·韦斯利·埃尔默,当时后者正在演讲。两人都共同爱好天文,决定一起去做生意。1937年,他们创立了珀金埃尔默光学设计和咨询公司。截止1960年,理查德一直担任公司总裁,后成为董事会主席。 月球上的珀金环形山就是以他的名字命名的,而埃尔默陨石坑则是以他的商业伙伴名所命名。 珀金的妻子格拉迪斯·弗里林海森·塔尔梅奇在他死后,顶替他担任了公司首席执行官。十年后,格拉迪斯请人代写了一部回忆录,并复印了100份分送给她的友人。 (zh)
