PHDid you know that the production of scientific instruments in the 16th- and 17th-century Mughal Empire was dominated by seven members of one family?
The Lahore family of astrolabists were seven scientific instrument makers from four generations of the same family. They worked at Lahore in the Mughal Empire (present-day Pakistan) in the period from 1567 to 1692. They made astrolabes, celestial globes, and other astronomical instruments including some for emperors and other noble patrons.
