Norris McWhirter-Founder of Guinness world records

In the decades that followed, the first edition of The Guinness Book of Records became a reality and sold over 120 million copies in 37 languages. Under McWhirter, black reality auditors cover long distances to assess whether a record holder can meet financial standards. Each record holder has received a certificate from Guinness, and not all records are eligible for inclusion in the book, which contains 65,000 records annually.

The first edition of Guinness Superlatives was limited and was released on August 27, 1955. More than 50,000 copies were reprinted and the demand was so great that the book became known as the Guinness Book of World Records and in the next twelve months were to receive three more editions. October 1955 was the year when the first editions of this book would one day dominate their time as the best-selling retailer and one of the most respected, trusted, and well-known products ever published.

Two journalists, Ross and Norris McWhirter compiled the first Guinness Book of Records, then known as the Guinness Book of Records. Over time, a revised volume known as the Book of World Records was extended to the United States to include details of the world's tallest buildings and other record-breaking facts.

No one has ever been able to break the record of John D. Rockefeller, not even Bill Gates with a net worth of $ 79.2 billion but not the rich and famous who came to the Guinness Book of Records; it's the ordinary Joe doing something strange. Very good things, I think, because humanity has a natural curiosity.

Norris McWhirter, 78, founder of the Guinness Book of Records, known as "the source of strange things and punishing human success" died of a heart attack on April 19 while playing tennis at his home in Wiltshire, England. He was a British citizen who, along with his twin brother Ross, founded the world's best-selling book Guinness World Records in 1955. It is a new catalog of extreme human and environmental success catalogs, selling millions of copies worldwide. The same twin of McWhirter Ross, who was assassinated by the IRA in 1975, was a successful athlete who worked as a BBC sports journalist.

Norris Dewar McWhirter and his twin brother Ross are best known for creating Guinness World Records, the Guinness Book of Records, which he and his brother wrote and reviewed between 1955 and 1975. Brothers move on to sports journalism - Ross became a professional rugby writer and tennis writer with Norris for 16 years as a sports writer for The Observer, which included the Rome Olympics in 1966 and the BBC's 1972 Munich Olympics. After Ross was assassinated by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA), Norris was assassinated by an editor.

Sir Hugh Beaver, executive director of the Guinness Brewery, founded in 1759 in Dublin, hired the twin brothers Norris and Ross McWhirter, founders of a London company who presented facts and figures to newspapers and advertisers. They studied at Marlborough College (from the same college, Trinity) and Oxford University, where they were runners-up and runners representing Oxford University and the Achilles Club, winning a 4 x 110 transfer to Amateur Athletics, and both working for the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve. during the war, when they saw the dogs of the suspected miners. In addition to other publications, the brothers established the Guinness Book of Records, which became the world's best-selling copyrighted book. In 1951, they founded a fact-finding company, Mcwhirter Twins Ltd., which specialized in Fleet Street, a journalism and advertising company.

A few years later, Beaver realized that there was no record of such outstanding performances as “the fastest bird game” and enlisted the help of two journalists, Norris and Ross McWhirter, to write the first best-selling program. In 1954, Norris was also a publisher at Oxford Racecourse when Roger Bannister broke a four-minute break and gave fresh air to the entire record-breaking story that Guinness had sent a letter about. Article 39 states that "Norris and Ross were invited on 12 September 1954 to discuss the proposal for the publication of the Guinness Brewery record at Park Royal, North-West London.

In the 1970s and 1980s, McWhirter was playing on the BBC One children's program Record Breakers directed by the late Roy Castle. Until 1986 he was the editor of the annual edition of the Guinness Book of Human and Natural Extremes and until 1996 he was the consultant editor. Since then he has been writing and editing new books, especially Norris Mcwhirter's Book of Millennium Records (1999).

Seven years before his death in 2004, McWhirter returned to the community briefly when comedian David Baddiel introduced a drama to Sky called Norris Mcwhirter Chronicles in which Alistair McGowan played a key role. The show was inspired by the day in 1978 when a young man came to Baddiel's school to talk to him. When Chris Chataway, another record holder, heard about a proposal to publish a set of records, he suggested that the right people could be the twins Norris and Ross McWhirter, whom he met at a sports event running for the investigative company. in London after winning their blue sprints at Oxford.

McWhirter went through thousands of interrogations and met with Guinness Superlatives Ltd., who published the book's records. Sir Beaver asked the twins (1925-2004) and Ross Mcwhirter (19 1925-1975) to compile a fact book and statistics. While Norris and McWhirter traveled to promote the book, they delighted the audience by memorizing thousands of facts that would be included in the recording.

Later that year, Ross and Norris McWhirter set up an agency that would provide Fleet Street with facts and statistics Norris said they would bring to newspapers, yearbooks, encyclopedias, and advertisers. They established an agency in London to make numbers and features available to newspapers, publishers, and advertisers and published their first book in 1951. They were interviewed by Guinness directors who wanted to test their knowledge of records and unfamiliar facts. They agreed to work on the 1954 Guinness Book of Records.

The brothers were known for their photographic memories that allowed them to give detailed answers to questions from the public through the inclusion of the Guinness Book of World Records.
