Hermann Jakob (later Jacob as a United States citizen) was a salesman.
His cousin Max Jacob (1879-1955) was one of the world's foremost authorities on the physics of heat transfer. He was a professor and experimental researcher at the Physikalisch-technische Reichsanstalt (Imperial Physical and Technical Facility) in Berlin-Charlottenburg from 1910 until he was forced to emigrate in 1934. Upon settling in the United States, he obtained in 1936 a professorship at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago where he continued his work, eventually publishing an authoritative book, Heat Transfer . The Max Jakob Memorial Award is named after him.
