Abstract :
THE LAMME MEDAL, which is to be awarded to two outstanding members of the AIEE today was established by Benjamin Garver Lamme in his will. The purpose of the award is to give deserved recognition to Institute members who have shown “meritorious achievement in the development of electrical apparatus or machinery.” In considering candidates for the award, the members of the Lamme Medal Committee have exercised the greatest care to insure compliance with the founder´s intent in establishing it.
