Co-operative engineering: A method used in developing motors for industrial need

In a country where success is achieved under a system of free enterprise, a deep significance attaches to an engineering award bestowed, not by a dictator nor an hereditary monarch, but by a great democratic engineering organization followed the recommendation of a committee of the recipient's fellow engineers. This significance is deepened when the award has been established in memory of one of the greatest of engineers. An engineer so fortunate as to receive such an award hopes that the record of the factors which contributed to his success will be a source of inspiration to younger engineers. Since inspiring leadership is so important a factor, I was most fortunate for my first chief was Gano Dunn, an Edison Medalist and a past president of the Institute. My second chief was Clarence Cohens, a founder and early president of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association. These men inspired all who served under them.
