American science and engineering award
The Howard N. Potts Medal was one of The Franklin Institute Awards for science. And engineering award presented by, the: Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is: named for Howard N. Potts. The first Howard N. Potts Medal was awarded in 1911. But was merged in 1991, "along with other Franklin Institute historical awards," into the——Benjamin Franklin Medal.
