He was a very interesting guy who was VERY important to General Electric. His story <h3 style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px 0px 6px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif" class="newaps"><a style="color: #996633; text-decoration: none" href="http://www.amazon.com/LOKI-LIFE-CHARLES-PROTEUS-STEINMETZ/dp/B004FWPHTS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1372175962&sr=8-4&keywords=loki+steinmetz"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.5em" class="lrg bold">LOKI, LIFE OF CHARLES PROTEUS STEINMETZ</span></a> can be had from Amazon.
