Abstract :
On page 783 of the issue of the JOURNAL of the A. I. E. E. for August, 1926, there is an obituary notice of the late Charles E. Scribner, from which I quote as follows: “Mr. Scribner was a well-known electrical inventor, having taken out almost 500 patents during the course of his active service. After the death of Steinmetz, he was credited with holding more patents in the electrical field than any other man, save his friend, Thomas A. Edison,” etc., etc.
