Wheeler innovated a way after World War I to have disabled veterans that became visually impaired from war injuries to become productively employed as self-supporting citizens. The Crocker-Wheeler company of New Jersey was located in the now defunct town of Ampere. These votes, in either case, were in secret and securely tabulated an immediate result. If they thought the club would be better off without the applicant, the voting member pressed the black button for an instant tabulation. Their vote was recorded instantly then at the central location ballot box that received all the member votes electrically. If the member had no objection to the applicant becoming an official member he pressed the white button. Each voter had in his hand a small block of wood in which were two push buttons, one black and the other white.

This would transmit their vote electrically to the central ballot box. His innovation was to have each club member just sit in his chair and press a button for their vote. He was the club's first vice president and the consulting engineer. Ī new technology was invented by Wheeler that used electricity for instantaneous voting and immediate results. This was due to the mechanical handling of the little balls and the repository ballot box. The balloting became very time consuming when the list of applicants became large. The black and white ball plan of indicating a yes or no vote was good as long as there were not many applicants for membership. Formerly the board of governors made use of an old-fashioned method of dropping a small colored ball into a ballot box to determine their approval or disapproval of the applicant.

This came about through the Automobile Club of America membership application process of the time. Wheeler devised an electrical voting device in 1907. ĪCA ballot box Electrical balloting apparatus

In his IEEE presidential address in 1906, he was the progenitor of the Code of Ethics for electrical engineers, which was adopted in 1912 by the Institute's Board of Directors.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) recognized him as one those who had given outstanding service to the Institute. He donated the Latimer Clark Library collection and it became the foundation of the library housed in New York's Engineering Societies' Building. In 1900, he purchased the library of Josiah Latimer Clark, which contained the largest collection of rare electrical works then known. He was for seven years (1888–1895) the electrical expert consultant specialist of the Board of Electrical Control of New York. During his tenure with Crocker-Wheeler, he was particularly important in development of the electric motors and applying it to machine tool drives. Wheeler was president of both the firms from 1889. They organized the electrical engineering firms of Crocker-Wheeler Motor Company of New York state and the Crocker-Wheeler Company of the state of New Jersey. Wheeler then left the firm as did Crocker in 1888. Wheeler became their main technician and plant manager. They were pioneer manufacturers of small electric motors.

Then in 1886 he was part of developing and organizing the C and C Electric Motor Company with Charles G. Wheeler worked for Herzog Teleseme Company as electrician for a short time between 18. He was afterwards in charge to lay the Edison underground systems in other cities. He acted as general manager of the underground distribution system at Newburgh, New York. Edison and was part of the project when the Pearl Street Station debuted the first incandescent light bulbs. He joined the engineering staff of Thomas A. Wheeler then joined the United States Electric Lighting Company in 1883 when Jablochkov went out of business with his electric company. Leaving college in 1881, upon the death of his father, he became assistant electrician of the Jablochkov Electric Lighting Company. Wheeler was educated at Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School.
