  • Abstract
    “for his contributions to the fundamentals of transformer design, his invention of the Klydonograph, his contributions to military computers, and for his broad understanding in the training of young engineers” BY TRADITION, the chairman of the Edison Medal Committee has only a simple duty to perform on these occasions. He is expected briefly to remind the assembled company of the origin and purpose of the medal but to leave the speechmaking to others. I hasten to assure you that I am thoroughly in accord with that tradition.
