Kron's career developed within the General Electric corporation and has been described by P.L. Alger Alger explains that Kron made a positive impression at an AIEE conference held in New York in January 1934. The behavior of an electrical network was described as a dynamical system confined to a Non-Riemannian space. General Electric vice president Roy C. Muir "invited Gabe to join the staff of the Advanced Engineering Program under A.R. Stevenson." Furthermore, Philip Franklin of Massachusetts Institute of Technology approved Kron's paper for publication in MIT Journal of Mathematics and Physics, May 1934. "The paper instantly provoked widespread discussion and controversy. Many mathematicians derided his work: it was just for show, it was needlessly complex, or it was of no practical use."
