Abstract: 

This is а historical-psychological sketch based on the material of the Conference dedicated to M.Faraday’s memory (Moscow, autumn 1991). Some consideration on the mental compatability of scientists occupied with the study of some common problem is given. People with different types of thinking (figurative, logical or combined) form re- lay-race scientific successions more naturally (or act independently) than join voluntary scientific associations. A rather vivid example of a successful (productive) succession is the chain Faraday - Maxwell - Hertz - Heaviside who are the participants of the classic macroelectromagnetic theory development.
