Abstract
WE announce with regret the death on Thursday, March 31, of MR. T. E. GATEHOUSE at the age of sixty-six years. Mr. Gatehouse was for some forty years associated with our contemporary, the Electrical Review, of which he had become editorial and technical director. As a young man he was a pupil of Robert Sabine, one of the most able pioneers of electrical industry, and later he worked with Sir Charles Wheat-stone and Sir Samuel Canning. From these he obtained a broad knowledge of electrical engineering in all its aspects, and especially of telegraphy, both on land and by submarine cable. As a young engineer he also took great interest in schemes for electric lighting, and himself held a number of patents for improvements in both the arc and incandescent lamp systems. In 1881 Mr. Gatehouse joined forces with a fellow-pupil under Sabine, Mr. R. H. Kempe, who was proprietor, with Mr. H. Alabaster, of the Telegraphic Journal and Electrical Review (afterwards the Electrical Review), and Mr. Gatehouse was made editor, a post which he held until a few years ago. Failing health compelled him to give up active work as editor, but as editorial and technical director he kept in touch with the journal, and lent his aid in a consultative capacity until a few days before his death occurred.
