Olaf Trost (c1885-1927)


1927 Obituary[1]

The Late Mr. O. Trust.— We note, with regret, that the death took place, in a London nursing home, on October 26 last, of Mr. Olaf Trost, an electrical and structural engineer, who had been associated with Messrs. Marconi’s Wireless Telegraph Company, Limited, for several years.

Mr. Trost was 42 years of age; he was a Dane, but, with the exception of an interval of three years, had been in the employ of the Marconi Company since 1911.

A specialist in mast design, he had devoted his attention, during the past few years, to the design of 800-ft. masts for high-power wireless stations, and the 300-ft. masts used for the beam stations, several of which have been illustrated in Engineering.
