What is David William Dye, 1887 - 1932 about?

Dr. David William Dye was born at Portsmouth on December 30, 1887, and by his death at Surbiton on February 18th, 1932, at the early age of 44 years, we have lost a brilliant investigator and an acknowledged authority on the subject of electrical precision measurement to which his working life was devoted. The third son of the late Charles Dye, J.P., of Portsmouth, he received his early instruction in that city, first at a private school and later at the Municipal Technical College. As an engineering student he worked at the City and Guilds Technical College and subsequently graduated in the University of London. After a short apprenticeship course with the British ThomsonHouston Company at Rugby he joined the stall of the National Physical Laboratory in 1910, where he at once found tasks which specially appealed to him. Under A. Campbell, who was then in charge of the Electrical Measurements Division, he assisted in the development of methods for the magnetic testing of iron and its alloys in various forms, the construction of standards of inductance and the measurements of currents of radio-frequency.
