Henry Arthur Campbell
Henry Arthur Campbell MIEE (24 June 1873 to 6 June 1953) was a Jamaican electrical engineer and long-serving employee and Chief Engineer of the Jamaican public utility. Education and career Henry was tutored privately and at Church of England grammar schools in his early years, before apprenticing as an electrical engineer with the Jamaica Electric Light and Power Co. Ltd. beginning in 1890. He notably contributed to the establishment and maintenance of an electric tram system in Kingston, Jamaica, and was recognized by the British Admiralty for having "rendered invaluable services" during both World War I and World War II. He worked for over sixty years with the Jamaica Public Service Co. Ltd., from 1890 until after 1953, though in his latter years in the role of a consultant. He rose to head several committees and clubs with the company, during his time there, including membership in the Apprenticeship Committee, chairman of the managing committee of the company's employee' ...

Jamaica
Jamaica (; ) is an island country situated in the Caribbean Sea. Spanning in area, it is the third-largest island of the Greater Antilles and the Caribbean (after Cuba and Hispaniola). Jamaica lies about south of Cuba, and west of Hispaniola (the island containing the countries of Haiti and the Dominican Republic); the British Overseas Territory of the Cayman Islands lies some to the north-west. Originally inhabited by the indigenous Taíno peoples, the island came under Spanish rule following the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1494. Many of the indigenous people either were killed or died of diseases, after which the Spanish brought large numbers of African slaves to Jamaica as labourers.

Electrical Engineer
Electrical engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with the study, design, and application of equipment, devices, and systems which use electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. It emerged as an identifiable occupation in the latter half of the 19th century after commercialization of the electric telegraph, the telephone, and electrical power generation, distribution, and use. Electrical engineering is now divided into a wide range of different fields, including computer engineering, systems engineering, power engineering, telecommunications, radio-frequency engineering, signal processing, instrumentation, photovoltaic cells, electronics, and optics and photonics. Many of these disciplines overlap with other engineering branches, spanning a huge number of specializations including hardware engineering, power electronics, electromagnetics and waves, microwave engineering, nanotechnology, electrochemistry, renewable energies, mechatronics/control, and electrica ...
