W. C. White

There are very few men in this country who really understand vacuum tubes. W. C. White is one of them. Nine years of his life have been devoted to the development, design, and engineering of vacuum tubes in the laboratories of the General Electric Co. A number of very valuable patents have been issued in his name. The work of Mr. White is well known in the radio field and he has earned for himself an enviable reputation.

Mr. White was born in Brooklyn in 1890. He received the degree of electrical engineer from Columbia University in the class of 1912.
