Why Is Clement D. Child Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Clement D. Child was an American physicist and educator. He is noted particularly for "Child's law" , which is an equation that describes the electric current that flows between the plates of a vacuum tube. Vacuum tubes were the main components in electronics from about 1905 to 1960, when transistors and integrated circuits mostly supplanted them. Child's Law is still a staple of textbooks treating charged particle motion in vacuum and in solids.
