Hexadecimal first proposed in 1859 by:

John W. Nystrom (1825–1885)

A Swedish-American civil engineer, inventor and

author who lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

To be used for new weights and measures, his

proposal included a new calendar with sixteen

months, a new system of coinage, and a

hexadecimal clock with sixteen hours in a day.
