William George Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong (November 26, 1810 – December 27, 1900) was an English industrialist, the effective founder of the Armstrong Whitworth manufacturing empire.
Rifled and throwing a shell-shaped projectile, the Armstrong gun is regarded as marking the birth of modern artillery.
Armstrong resigned his position for the Government, the Elswick Ordnance Company merged with what was by now Sir WG Armstrong Mitchell and Company, and the focus turned to finding overseas orders.
