A selection of the more important works of Jørgen Lund are described. The industrial features of the periods in which specific developments in rotordynamics took place are discussed, together with these developments themselves and the investigators who made them. Lund’s contributions are included within the latter part of this framework. The comparative value of Lund’s work is considered in terms of several criteria, which are judged to apply to the work of investigators generally. These criteria are used to examine the characteristics of three important pioneers of vibration technology, to demonstrate the validity of these criteria. Lund’s contributions are shown to be of high caliber when judged by the same criteria.
