Abstract
The inventors and pioneers of electrical systems are well documented, but little has been written about those entrepreneurs who brought electric power within the reach of the general public. One who stands out among his peers is Thomas E. Murray. As an executive, engineer, and inventor, Murray´s work shaped the utility system of New York City, yet he remains largely un known as he shunned publicity because of his deeply held religious belief.
