I blogged about Charles Proteus Steinmetz here, last time there was a photo of him in the uploads: disstud.blogspot.com/2011/01/cp-steinmetz-loc.html So, same guy:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Proteus_Steinmetz

Easily recognizable. He had no neck. But he was a really smart guy.

Though the date written on the negative is 3/4/22, the medal he is wearing is from an electrical engineering convention in Cincinnati in August, 1915.

thank you randeclip and pennylrichardsca for the information about Charles Proteus Steinmetz. We will add more details to the image description.

Elmer Ambrose Sperry (not sure why it shows F as the middle initial; it's definitely Elmer A. Sperry, though): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elmer_Ambrose_Sperry

That does look like the guy in Wikipedia's picture. But another possibility is E. Frank Sperry, mayor of Orlando, Florida, who died in office 1916.

Thanks for the suggestions pennylrichardsca and Kestenbaum. I was unable to find a photo of E. Frank Sperry, but I found some more images in our collection of Elmer Ambrose Sperry. I'm pretty certain this photo shows him, so we will add his full name to the record.

E. A. Sperry, appointed to the Naval Advisory Board in 1915, along with other scientific notables. Group photo, October, 1915: select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0E12F93C5D1773...

Very noble and endearing!

This is Robert S. Woodward
"Robert Simpson Woodward (July 21, 1849–June 29, 1924) was an American physicist and mathematician, born at Rochester, Michigan."

In 1915, he was named on a new naval board.

Other members of this board were
Thomas Robins


and Alfred Craven

Thanks for the info! We'll update record.

The Naval Advisory Board was a brainchild of the Secretary of the Navy, who asked Thomas Edison to lead a committee of the best American scientists. Each academy in each of the sciences was then asked to nominate two members to serve. Woodward was nominated through the American Mathematical Society , Craven through the American Society of Civil Engineers, and Robins through the Inventor's Guild.
