  • Abstract
    Although he was the Principal of a Technical College, Silvanus Thompson was interested in much else. He was President of the IEE in 1899; he researched in X-rays and optics; he wrote three textbooks, one of which is still famous; and he wrote an excellent biography of Lord Kelvin.<>
