Abstract
DR. IRVING BARDSHAR CRANDALL, a member of the technical staff of the Bell Telephone Laboratories and an authority on the telephonic transmission of speech and methods of recording it, died on April 22, at the age of thirty-six years. Dr. Crandall was born in Chattanooga, Tenn., on May 27, 1890, and graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1909; later he studied at Princeton, and in 1916, three years after he had become associated with the Bell Telephone Laboratories, he received his doctorate from Princeton. At the time of his death, Dr. Crandall was engaged on important experiments. He recently published a book, “Sound and Vibrating Systems,” and he had previously written monographs on the scientific aspects of speech, analyses of its mechanisms, and methods for recording it.
