This passport belonged to Simon Johnson's grandfather Cyril John Dadswell who died when Johnson was only two weeks old. But Dadswell was nevertheless important to Johnson, as the first academic in their family. Dadswell was a metallurgist and worked for the steel industry in Sheffield. The passport was issued on 14 May 1942, during the Second World War, and it also reveals that Dadswell immediately obtained a visa for the USA. The purpose of his trip to the USA was to provide expertise on steel suitable for tanks. Dadswell's activities are related to one of Simon Johnson's areas of research: how technology is transferred between different countries and fields.
Simon Johnson donated the passport to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2024. - Pristagare
