A Method of Finding Facts Beyond Text Books
|
Charles Kettering writes in Short Stories of Science and Invention about Thomas Midgley, Jr.: "His versatility was evidenced by a correct evaluation of education. He had learned the usual text book facts dealing with mechanical engineering problems. But he had also learned that a method of finding facts in other lines was just as important. His knowledge of how to proceed with any problem coupled with his great desire to find the answer would have made him an outstanding figure in any field. Honors were conferred upon him from many directions." Thomas Midgley, Jr. was one of the key researchers and developers of gasoline for car engines in the 1910's and 1920's. |
