That can't be right.  Radiation therapy was unknown in the 18th century.

Henri Moreau in his "Le Syst�me M�trique" of 1975 on page 85 says "L. H.
Gray (English physicist, 1905 - 1965)".

Moreau also attributes the weber to Wilhelm Eduard Weber, 1804 - 1891.  His
biography in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, supports that theory.
