Abstract
CARL OLOF LUNDHOLM who died on May 8, at the ripe age of eighty-four years, was born in Sweden in 1850. His father was Court Quartermaster and had filled this important office, which however is now extinct, to four of Sweden's kings. He was what we would now designate a chemical engineer, though the term was then not known. Through the personal influence of his great fellow countryman, Alfred Nobel, he obtained facilities for studying the manufacture of fulminate of mercury in a French factory on the. outskirts of Paris. Largely as the result of this special knowledge he was invited to join the staff of the Nobel Explosives Co., Glasgow, in 1878.
