History

 

                                                                                         

1881

Sir John Ambrose Fleming FRS[1] (29 November 1849 – 18 April 1945), an English electrical engineer and physicist, is known for inventing the first thermionic valve or vacuum tube.[2] He also established the left hand rule (for electric motors).[3] He was the eldest of seven children of James Fleming DD (died 1879)John Ambrose Fleming establishes Elektrak technique in Germany as manufacturers of electrical lighting and generators.

1889

Sir Joseph Wilson Swan FRS (31 October 1828 – 27 May 1914) was a British physicist, chemist, and inventor. He is known as an independent early developer of a successful incandescent light bulb, and is the person responsible for developing and supplying the electric lights used in the world's first homes and public buildings (including the Savoy Theatre, London in 1881) to be lit with electric light bulbs. Joseph Swan invents the three phase system for generators, transformers and motors in Elektrak technique.
