William D. Coolidge (born October 23, 1873, Hudson, Massachusetts, U.S.—died February 3, 1975, Schenectady, New York) was an American engineer and physical chemist whose improvement of tungsten filaments was essential in the development of the modern incandescent lamp bulb and the X-ray tube.
William David Coolidge was born in Hudson, Massachusetts, near Boston, on October 23,1873, and he died on February 3, 1975 in Schenectady, New York. His father, Albert Edward, was a shoemaker by occupation, but he supplemented his income by running a farm of seven acres.
Coolidge began investigating how he might improve tungsten lamps by making a bendable or "ductile" wire. In 1909 he came up with the answer. By putting an ingot of sintered tungsten through a series of hot swagings and drawings through successively smaller dies, bendable wire of many diameters could be made.
