Abstract :
THE PRESENTATION of the Lamme Medal in recognition of my efforts in the development of television does me a great honor. I appreciate it all the more since some of my earlier efforts in this field, at the Westinghouse Electric Corporation in Pittsburgh, Pa., coincide with the tenure of Mr. Lamme as Chief Engineer of that corporation. In considering the engineer´s role in the progress of science, I shall be mindful of the great contributions made by Mr. Lamme and his generation of able engineers.
