		Beauchamp knew the virtue of punctiliousness in epithets and phrases of courtesy toward a formal people, and as the officers of the French Guard were gentlemen of birth, he would have them to perceive in him their equal at a glance.
		Beauchampism, as one confronting him calls it, may be said to stand for nearly everything which is the obverse of Byronism, and rarely woos your sympathy, shuns the statuesque pathetic, or any kind of posturing.
		Beauchamp himself behave so badly on an occasion when the sailors of his battery caught him out of a fire of shell that raised jets of dust and smoke like a range of geysers over the open, and hugged him as loving women do at a meeting or a parting.

	BBC - h2g2 - Electric Guitars
		Beauchamp had been experimenting with a well known fact at this time: when a wire passed through a magnetic field, it changed the intensity of the field.
		Beauchamp had adapted this principle to music as early as 1925 with a single string instrument, but was struggling to adapt it to six strings so that each string would have an evenly powerful signal.
		George Beauchamp then took the prototype guitar, a Hawaiian style lap guitar nicknamed 'The Frying Pan', to Adolph Rickenbacher (cousin of WWI flying ace Eddie Rickenbacher), the owner of a tool and die company that made the steel bodies for National’s Resonator guitars.

		Beauchamp’s desire for a louder instrument was the driving force that pushed John Dopyera to develop the resonator guitar, and Beauchamp and Dopyera were founding partners of the National company in 1928.
		Beauchamp’s continuing efforts to develop an electrically amplified guitar cost him his position at National but resulted in the first viable electric guitar in 1932.
		Moreover, Beauchamp’s 1932 prototype Frying Pan, which is still owned by Rickenbacker, has a wood body (rather than the cast aluminum of production models) and a round neck with frets and - most important - fingerboard wear.

	eMusician: Special Addition for FEBRUARY 1999
		The story begins with George Beauchamp, a Los Angeles based lap-steel guitarist who was frustrated because his guitar couldn't compete with the horns, drums, and other loud instruments that were becoming increasingly popular in bands of the '20s.
		Beauchamp took his problem to luthiers John and Rudy Dopyera, two Slovakian brothers who were descended from a family of violin makers and were at the time building and improving upon banjos.
		The Dopyera brothers also originated a single-cone resonator guitar, but when a squabble ensued between the brothers and Beauchamp (who was a principle in the company), John Dopyera set out on his own to develop a lower-priced resonator guitar utilizing a single cone housed in a wooden body.

		Apparently Rickenbacker/Electro designer George Beauchamp's concept was to create a whole family of purely electric string instrumentsat least the violin and bass appear to have been commercially produced, albeit on a very small scale.
		Beauchamp was a great believer in using plastics in musical instrument construction, and before creating these molded violins and guitars had designed bakelite necks and fingerboards for National guitars around 1930.
		This bakelite violin is of the earliest design, which was very quickly revised so that by 1939 Rickenbacker was offering an entirely different Electric Violin with a tubular metal body and a conventional headstock.

	ELECTRIC GUITAR HISTORY
		It was common knowledge by this time that passing a wire through a magnetic field produced a change in magnetic field intensity which in turn could be used to create a changing electric current in a properly coupled coil of wire.
		After many months of trial and error Beauchamp, along with Paul Barth developed a working "pickup" out of two horseshoe magnets and six pole pieces.The guitar strings passed through the magnets with each pole located so as to concentrate an independent magnetice field over each string.
		With prototype in hand Beauchamp approached Adolph Rickenbacher, Rickenbacker a cousin of WWI flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker owned a local tool and die company and had been associated with Beauchamp at National, manufacturing the metal bodies for the Resonators.
