To this point, I’ve written tens of thousands of words on this Substack covering the work of scientists from the early-to-mid-1900s — a golden era of American science and innovation — in a familiar setting: the university.
Hi Eric, I came across your Langmuir article. My Great grandfather Harry R Lindsley worked with him at GE 1908-14, and was the glassblower for 11 years doing experiments on Ductile Tungsten 1908-1911. He left behind a detailed lab journal 1908-1910, sketching diagrams that ultimately lead to the Tungsten bulb. I'm writing a book about it, along with pics from inside the lab. Let me know if you have an interest... Stephen P Lindsley, Naples FL
