Ha ha!
My friend corrected me; it was Huygens who invented the cheeks, but airy did discuss cycloidal pendula in detail.
bc mustn't trust his memory, especially in the age of Google and Wikipedia.

I didn't find (cursorily) a reference to his having made the cheeks, but he also discussed (invented) the cycloid (probably the person to which JD referred.)
