Abstract :
CONCLUDING one of the longest, most varied, and most fruitful careers in electrical engineering, Elihu Thomson died at his home in Swampscott, Mass., on March 13, 1937, just a few days before his eighty-fourth birthday. Indisputably the dean of American electrical engineers, he was regarded as being second to none among the small group of his contemporaries upon whose inventive genius the electrical industry of the world was founded and through whose perseverance and keen foresight it grew.
