Charles Proteus Steinmetz (April 9, 1865 - October 26, 1923) was an American Mathematician and Electrical Engineer. He fostered the development of alternating current that made possible the expansion of the electric power industry in the United States, formulating mathematical theories for engineers. He made ground-breaking discoveries in the understanding of hysteresis that enabled engineers to better design electric motors for use in industry.

"Eickemeyer wanted to expand into electrical motors and generators, a brand new field in 1889."
The Reason i remembered it was...I was seeing Blogger Play, which is very addictive. I clicked a Photo, which lead me to a story of a Cat and Mouse. The mouse triggered my memory of the story behind hysteresis, which i had read years back, in a very old Readers Digest. It had something like this...."When GE Motors Manufacturing faced the Problem of the motors Heating up, they heard of Charles Proteus Steinmetz.......Find out the rest yourself. !
