  • Abstract
    Of what value can a study of the history of his art be to the engineer? The wise man in any field can profit by examples from the past. For the scientist especially, the history books can teach much of the trials and errors of creative thinking, and indeed may point the way toward new paths to as yet unexplored realms of knowledge.
