What this article is
Barnard, Bishop & Barnards was a manufacturing and general ironmonger, initially an ironmongery started by Charles Barnard (1804-1871) on 9 November 1826 in premises near Norwich Market. By 1840 his retail business had expanded and included iron foundry workshops in Pottergate, and producing ironwork for domestic and agricultural purposes. Charles Barnard developed, but did not patent, a technique for weaving wire into black japanned netting and fencing. The original loom may be seen at the Bridewell Museum in Norwich. Fencing was in great demand in Australia to control the country's rabbit problem and ensured a fortune for Barnard.

How this was measured
Views are Wikimedia's own pageview counts for en.wikipedia, filtered to agent=user so automated traffic is excluded. The baseline is the median of the previous 60 days, which is used instead of the mean so that an earlier surge cannot flatten a later one. The multiple is the day's views divided by that median.
