Prince Philip and Dr. Roland W. Schmitt examine a hybrid car exhibit panel displayed as part of an electric car exhibit at the Lex Brooklands Auto Showroom, a Volvo dealership across from the Royal Institution in London, UK. The exhibit was created in conjunction with Dr. Roland W. Schmitt's Royal Institution lecture "Electrifying the Auto," delivered on May 21, 1981. Prince Philips' electric van was also included as part of the exhibit. Dr. Schmitt was the director of GE Corporate Research & Development from 1978 to 1987.
