The city of Vanderbijlpark, where ISCOR's major steel works was built and still operates, is named after him. He was chancellor of the University of Pretoria from 1934 until 1948. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1944.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Library and Archive caralog )〕 He is now perhaps best remembered for the van der Bijl equation which describes the relationship of the three 'constants' of a vacuum tube, the transconductance gm, the gain μ and the plate resistance rp or ra. The van der Bijl equation defines their relationship as follows: :〔van der Bijl, H. J. (1919). Theory and Operating Characteristics of the Thermionic Amplifier.
