Re: [TCML] Tesla Museum discussion

[Ed Phillips <evp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think my messages are being censored but in case they're not I have to 
comment on this.  Fact is you're just plain wrong and obviously have no 
real knowledge of 'the electrical industry' in the latter part of the  
19th century. Your homework must be from indiscriminate reading of stuff 
on the internet rather than a real study of 'the state of the art' in 
both Europe and the US at the time.   Tesla did develop some interesting 
equipment and his contributions to the electric power industry, 
particularly in this country, were very significant but if he hadn't 
been around things wouldn't be much different today. Don't make him an 
absurd figure by crediting him with things he didn't do - his actual 
accomplishments are great enough to give him the fame he deserves.
