Original photograph showing Albert Einstein and Charles Steinmetz standing together. The photograph was originally taken on 23 April 1921 during a demonstration of RCA's experimental transoceanic communication station at New Brunswick, NJ to a group of distinguished scientists. The photograph includes a group of 19 scientists. In 1924, after Steinmetz's death, a new version of the image was created in which all the scientists were all removed except for Einstein and Steinmetz. From left to right in the photograph are: First three unidentified, David Sarnoff, Thomas J. Hayden, Dr. Ernst.J. Berg, S. Benedict, Albert Einstein, John Carson, Dr. Charles Steinmetz, Dr. A. N. Goldsmith, A. Malsin, Dr. Irving Langmuir, Dr. Albert W. Hull, E. B. Pillsbury, Dr. Saul Dushman, R.H. Ranger, Dr. G. H. Campbell, Ernst F.W. Alexanderson, and C. H. Taylor
