Abstract :
As a result of a bequest of the late Benjamin G. Lamme, Chief Engineer of the Westinghouse Electric & Mfg. Company, who died July 8, 1924, the Lamme Medal was founded to provide for the award by the Institute of a gold medal (together with bronze replica thereof) annually to a member of the A. I. E. E. “who has shown meritorious achievement in the development of electrical apparatus or machinery,” and for the award of two such medals in some years if the accumulation from the funds warrants.
