Charles Édouard Guillaume (born 15 February 1861 in Fleurier, Switzerland, deceased 13 June 1938 in Sèvres, France[1]) was a Swiss physicist who won the Nobel Prize in 1920 in recognition of his work in metrology, that is the scientific study of measurement. His work with the nickol-iron alloy "Invar" revolutionized metrology, cryogenics and contributed to the development of television.[2]
In 1928 he served with Rodolphe Soreau among others on a committee dedicated to the honoring of Gustave Eiffel.[3]
Naturally, as profound as was his work more broadly, he has entered into our by way of the pertinence of his writings to aeronautics and aviation.
