Abstract :
All engineers who have to design electrical machinery honor the name of Benjamin G. Lamme, who did so much to advance the designing art. It was my good fortune to know Mr. Lamme personally. His kindly nature, remarkable memory, and keen mind were an inspiration to a young engineer. In accepting this medal given in memory of his achievements, I do so not as a personal tribute, but rather as a tribute to a small but loyal group of men who have worked with me in my own company, as well as to those in other companies who have done so much to bring the turbine generator to its present state of development.
