I remember it being claimed in the 1940s that the 'Miller Integrator' had in
fact been invented by Blumlein, some papers referring to the circuit as a
'Blumlein Integrator'.
Has history elucidated who is rightfully regarded as the inventor ?
I confess that I have not researched that particular bit of history, but
is it possible that because the integrator made use of the "Miller
effect" (discovered by Miller), Blumlein called his integrator a "Miller
effect integrator" which later become shortened?
I can't think of anything Blumlein invented which he named after himself
at the time. The attributions seem to have been applied by others at a
later date. Herbert Holman and Henry Clark were the 'inventors' of
many of Blumlein's electromechanical devices; but it wasn't until
Blumlein's superior theoretical knowledge was brought to bear on them
that they achieved their full performance and were put into practical
use.
I expect the answer will be found in his notebooks if someone wants to
take the trouble to look through them.
