Bust of Michael Pupin (Mihajlo Idvorski Pupin), 9 October 1858–12 March 1935, a Serbian and American physicist and physical chemist. Known for his numerous patents, including a means of greatly extending the range of long-distance telephone communication by placing loading coils of wire at predetermined intervals along the transmitting wire (known as "pupinization"). Pupin was a founding member of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) on March 3, 1915, which later became NASA.
