In August 1926, two important dental meetings took place in America: the first International Orthodontic Congress (16-20 August in New York) and the seventh International Dental Congress (23-27 August in Philadelphia). Robert Lindsay, British Dental Association (BDA) dental secretary and husband of fellow dentist and BDA librarian, Lilian Lindsay, documented his trip attending these two events. His handwritten diary and letters not only describe the dental meetings and the dentists that went there, but also chronicle the epoch of the great luxury passenger liners and a time in America where business was booming and money was seemingly no object.

John Nutting Farrar (1839-1913) has been hailed as the 'father of American orthodontics' and his textbook, published in 1888, is often claimed to be the first devoted exclusively to orthodontics, while the American Emerson Angell is supposed to be the inventor of the orthodontic 'jackscrew'. However, the unknown Englishman Charles Gaine, identified by Lilian Lindsay in 1933 as the author of the first British orthodontic textbook, could be said to be the father of British orthodontics, as the publication of his book in 1858 and his demonstration of the screw appliance at the Great Exhibition of 1851 predated both these transatlantic events.
