Oliver Heaviside: Maverick Mastermind of Electricity — Recommend this title to your library

Thank you

Your recommendation has been sent to your librarian.

By the time he struck up an alliance with Lodge, Fitzgerald and Hertz in 1888, Oliver Heaviside had been living much the same life for fourteen years. The daily routine rarely varied reading, exercise and experiments during the day, followed by theoretical work into the night. His only professional colleague was his brother Arthur, for whom he sometimes acted as unofficial and unpaid scientific adviser The informal arrangement suited them both. Arthur had become an important man in the Post Office Senior Engineer of the Northern Division and valued Oliver's views on technical matters. In return, he sent Oliver equipment for experiments and kept him abreast of news in the telegraph and telephone industry.
