Abstract :
I DEEPLY APPRECIATE the honor which the Institute has conferred on me in awarding me the Edison Medal for 1949. I accept this award on the basis that it is given not only for whatever personal accomplishment I have been able to make in the field of lightning and of lightning protection; but also in recognition of the contribution of the many other persons associated with me both outside and within my own company. Some indication of their contribution will be apparent from a brief résumé of what has happened in this field in the last 27 years.
