Frank J. Sprague was renowned in electrical circles around the world as The Father of Electric Traction. The control and safety systems which make railroads and mass transit work today are his. He was the first to design electric motors capable of earning their way in industry, and helped perfect the highspeed electric elevators that made skyscrapers possible. He created the basic circuitry that ran, and still runs, subways, elevators, and electrified railroads. Sprague was among the first men to bring rigorous mathematical discipline to replace cutandtry research, making him the lifelong rival of Thomas Edison. Sprague helped change electricity from a laboratory and lectureplatform oddity to a vital part of the modern world. Almost singlehandedly he wired electricity into the second industrial revolution as a basic source of power and transportation.
