Abstract
March, 2007 will mark the 90th anniversary of the birth of Vladimir Evgenievich Paton, Merited Inventor of Ukraine, prominent designer of welding equipment. The memory of this remarkable person retains the wonderful diversity of the traits of his character, which were a harmonious combination of professional talent and personal charm and a vivid manifestation of a range of interests outside his profession. Such a harmony is characteristic of extraordinary personalities, to which V.E. Paton certainly belongs.
A lot can be written about his contribution to development of welding equipment. government awards and state prizes, honorary titles and international recognition that he was granted. And quite a lot has already been written about it. But the main legacy of a teacher are his pupils. They are not always capable of taking the baton and carrying on his work in a fitting manner. Vladimir Paton was lucky in this respect, and today we are publishing the memoirs of one of his successors.
