Aquesta p\u00e0gina \u00e9s tamb\u00e9 un homenatge a <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Whilliam Jover <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>que v<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\"jjj\"a ser un inventor i a<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>rmer londinenc del segle XVIII i que traspass\u00e0 a mitjans del XIX. La seva armeria estava al 337 d’Oxford Sreet a Londres. Les seves armes de xispa, son apreciades, encara avui, pel seu disseny, precisi\u00f3 i eleg\u00e0ncia. La seva botiga a Oxford Street es deia <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Jover & Sons<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>… tot i que la regentaba juntament amb la seva filla <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Mary Jover<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>, reconeguda tamb\u00e9 \"\u00edndex\"legalment com a armera, amb seu al 26 de Mortimer Street, on es creu que es va trasllada<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>r la fam\u00edlia i el negoci cap el 1810.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Home de<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>l seu temps, tena\u00e7 i implicat en la seva societat, li va pesar m\u00e9s la vena d’inventor que la de fabricant d’armes a mida, sobretot pistoles de duel, productes on hi figura la seva delicada signatura; signatura que, en homenatge seu, hem recuperat i que encap\u00e7ala aquesta web. Va empenyorar bens i fam\u00edlia per perseguir els seus somnis, el de les armes que disparessin m\u00e9s d’un tret. Visionari i pioner.

Varen ser tamb\u00e9 prove\u00efdors de mosquets de gran qualitat i precisi\u00f3 per a les tropes angleses que lluitaven a les col\u00f2nies per la Junta d’Artilleria de Sa Majestat. La seva f\u00e0brica pass\u00e0, anys m\u00e9s tard, a ser adquirida pel seu<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\"\u00edndex3\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> competidor,\u00a0 Wilkinson, i s’especialitz\u00e0 en la producci\u00f3 d’espases, espases destinades a oficials que l’exercit angl\u00e8s va lluir fins la d\u00e9cada de 1980…i tamb\u00e9 maquinetes d’afaitar.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Sembla que el seu fill, Joseph<\/em>, germ\u00e0 de Mary,<\/em> va continuar la tasca dels seu pare a les noves col\u00f2nies acabada la guerra d’independ\u00e8ncia americana, construint veritables joies pels nous burgesos americans, utilitzant la llegenda “jover&son – London”<\/em>. Algunes d’elles estan el els millors museus o n’han sortit reproduccions a diverses pel\u00b7l\u00edcules com \u00abEl Alamo\u00bb<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

\u00a0El cognom “jover<\/em><\/strong>” (del llat\u00ed iug\u00e1rius), significa “fabricant de jous<\/em><\/strong>“, “el que porta el jou amb la parella de bous (traginer)”<\/strong><\/em> o tamb\u00e9 “llaurador<\/em><\/strong>“. Tots gent treballadora, menestrals de la terra. Per cert, el nostre avi, Pere Jover<\/strong><\/em>, nat a Roda de Ter, seguint la tradici\u00f3, va ser mec\u00e0nic i camioner.<\/p>
