Blazing Trails for Progress Curiosity may have killed the well-known cat, but it has been underneath most of the hard-won developments that lastingly benefit mankind. Once in a great while, perhaps, ac- cident has been the spark that has lighted the torch of achievement; but much more frequently-always, nearly -accomplishment, especially in the field of science and invention, has grown out of the insatiable curiosity that seems to be the heritage of us all. Mankind wants to know -and is slowly finding out. Curiosity, the complement of imagination, knows no appeasement. This is, however, no essay on the vague sub- jectiof idle curiosity. There is a vast difference between that and the organized, untiring, well- planned activity which, as an integral part of Westinghouse organization, searches continu- ally for the answers to problems which intelli- gent speculation sets up. This, if you please, is curiosity in itshighest and most intensified form; and it is a fundamental thing in the West- inghouse operations. Research, as we know it, isthe guiding hand upon the purely creative activities of business. Constantly it brings to light new aspects of known laws, new visions of laws yet to be un covered. But the search for these is not hap. hazard nor whimsical; it is organized and planned as carefully and thoroughly as any other busi. ness activity. Whether chemical, electrical, or physical, it is engineering; and it follows engi- neering methods and tradition. Many great engineers have been wholly at a loss in this specialized activity. For research, in a sense, reverses the usual order. Its en- deavor is -to discover unknown laws in the known facts-a thing which is quite at variance with ordinary engineering practice. Yet there is fi fine type. of engineering mind which finds its great opportunity in this kind of work. And to that type of, mind, and that type of man, re- search beckons with an unmistakable hand. It is engineering pioneering, it blazes trails for progress, to new triumphs, in a wiiderness into whose outskirts man has scarcely penetrated. 9. ti *Aft ACHIEVEMENT & OPPORTUNITY t1 4 Pr-y -. -- - --. h.. -4i .w - m .- - -
