Gregg

John Robert Gregg (1867-1948), American educator, author and inventor of the Gregg system of shorthand. In 1888 he introduced his shorthand system in England and later brought it to the United States. His system uses symbols to represent sound through the use of short and long strokes, as different from the Pitman system which uses light and shaded strokes.
