Abstract
In 1958, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE) selected Charles F. Kettering as the recipient of the Edison Medal. He was cited "for invention, research, and development in the broad fields of industry, engineering, transportation, medicine, education, energy, and power resulting in service to all mankind. "He was elected a Fellow of the AIEE in 1914. Remembered especially for his early work on electric self-starters for automobiles, he received 185 patents for inventions in several fields and also became known for his philanthropy later in life.
