Howard N. Potts Medal
The Howard N. Potts Medal was a prize for technical and scientific achievements in the categories of physics , chemistry , mechanical engineering or geosciences which was awarded between 1911 and 1991 by the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . From 1998 onwards, all of the institute's various awards were combined under the name Benjamin Franklin Medal .
