Title
English: Portrait of Walter Gordon Clark, Seattle, circa 1900
Description
English:

Walter Gordon Clark, engineer, was born in Utah and attended universities in the United States and Germany. He spent the early years of the 20th century in Seattle, where, sometime between 1900 and 1910, he and E. C. Kilbourne founded Kilbourne & Clark, an engineering firm and agency for Eastern electrical companies. By 1915, with Clark in New York, the Seattle-based company had numerous contracts to manufacture radio telegraph equipment for Great Lakes and ocean-going ships as well as for the Australian post office. Clark participated in the development of incandescent lighting, notably the Helion lamp. Following his death in Los Angeles, his December 1950 obituary also credits him with the invention of the pulmotor, a type of resuscitator.
