	C. P. Steinmetz
		Charles Proteus Steinmetz, the mathematical wizard of the early electrical industry, was born in Breslau, Germany, in 1865.
		Steinmetz found employment as a draftsman for Eickemeyer and Osterheld, a Yonkers-based electrical manufacturer, and was soon established in an experimental laboratory of his own.
		Steinmetz, however, having been given the task of calculating and designing an alternating-current commutator motor, and wishing to calculate the hysteresis loss, derived the law of hysteresis mathematically from existing data.

	Charles Proteus Steinmetz Summary
		Steinmetz was always far ahead of his colleagues in mathematical skills, and few in his lecture's audience understood the brilliance of his ideas about magnetism and alternating current circuits.
		Steinmetz was able to promote his peculiar combination of conservative and radical views because of his public status as an electrical wizard, a new breed of scientific researcher that replaced cut-and-try inventors such as Thomas Edison.
		Steinmetz died in 1923 and was buried in Vale Cemetery, Schenectady.

		Charles Proteus Steinmetz built this simple cabin, overlooking Viele's Creek near his home in Schenectady, New York, as both a summer retreat and a secluded haven in which to write and study.
		Steinmetz was never married, fearful that deformed children like himself would be born, but had "acquired" a family by adopting a young engineer, J.L. Hayden, who later married and lived in the house with his wife and children that Charles had built for them.
		Charles Steinmetz was buried on the Vale Cemetery, Schenectady, NY, U.S.A. After Steinmetz’s death, former President Herbert Hoover headed a committee to raise $25,000 to purchase the house and convert it into a museum.

		Steinmetz spent the rest of his life applying the method to the entire range of AC circuits and machines.
		To Steinmetz, the purpose of education was to "make a man able to make the best use of himself and for human society at large." To achieve that, he said, "a man needs an extensive knowledge and understanding of all matters in which human society is interested;...
		Steinmetz made a number of predictions -- including air conditioning, television, central power stations, and solar energy as "the greatest of all energies" -- and he lived long enough to see some come to pass, such as the electrification of industry and the proliferation of radios and electrical appliances in the home.

		Steinmetz's first important research was on the phenomenon of hysteresis, by which power is lost because of magnetic resistance.
		Steinmetz's last research was on lightning, which threatened to disrupt the new AC power lines.
		Without Charles Steinmetz's development of theories of alternating current, the expansion of the electric power industry in the United States in the early 20th century would have been impossible, or at least greatly delayed.

		This copy of Steinmetz's patent (among others) was sent to GE in 1962, along with the first of several rejections by the Patent Office examiner.
		GE replied that, "the combination [of these patents] is contrary to the teachings of either and hence is not a proper combination." In 1964, after a series of rejections, GE fabricated several lamps according to the specifications in Steinmetz's patent.
		Reiling demonstrated to the examiner that his lamp operated differently than Steinmetz's, and argued that the new lamp should receive a patent.
