Despite his death by tuberculosis at the age of 26, his 1908 textbook Principles of Direct-Current Electrical Engineering was revised and reprinted until the 1950s. The companion volume The Design of Alternating Current Machinery was written but not yet revised for publication at the time of his death. Robert Archibald from Dundee Technical College revised and corrected the proofs for its publication in 1913. He was awarded three medals for student achievement: * Physics & Mathematics, 1900–1901 Session, Leith Technical College. * Advanced Electricity & Magnetism, 1901–1902 Session, Heriot-Watt College. * Mathematics Stage III, 1902–1903 Session, Heriot-Watt College.
