	At the time that was published I wondered about the selection, but
found it interesting nonetheless.

	The most important reference I have is "Inventions, Research, and
Writings".  What's published there is beautifully written and very clear
and rational. I have Ratzlaff's 4 volume publication of Tesla's "Patent
Wrappers" which have a lot of correspondence with Patent office.  I
suspect that a most of that was written by lawyers, but Tesla must have
been involved in the answers and perhaps wrote some.
