<VV> Tesla Info (NO CORVAIR)

[Rodney Spooner]

If you really want to know and understand Tesla, the man, I HIGHLY recommend
"PRODIGAL GENIUS The Life and Times of Nikola Tesla". I've read it twice and
planning to re-read it again. That and the "Andromeda Strain" and the Bible
are the only books I've ever read more than once. Well, MAD magazine
too...but that is a magazine. And Playboy too (when I was a whole lot
younger), but that's also a magazine (aren't pictures worth 1,000 words?)
Haven't needed to look at a Playboy in decades (been married to the real
deal for 26 glorious years) but I still like a good MAD once in a while.

My wife, Sue, has accused me of having a "Corvair Affair". (Corvair content)

Vairy truly yours,

If you guys REALLY want to know more about Tesla, read "Tesla, Man Out of  
Time" by Margaret Cheney.  Among many other pics, the book shows a  rare 
1921 photo of 3 of the greatest scientists of the  20th century, Nikola
Tesla, 
Albert Einstein and Charles  Steinmetz.   Regarding Tesla's patent dispute 
with Marconi, the book  states "Only after his death would the U. S. Supreme

Court uphold Tesla's claim  to be the true father of radio."

If  Edison  was a genius, then Tesla was a SUPER GENIUS. He invented and
proved   AC current superior to Edison's DC current. Tesla worked for Edison
or  a  short time but Edison couldn't or wouldn't recognize Tesla's  genius 
 
or
accept AC current as  practical.




George Westinghouse had no trouble recognizing  Tesla's genius or accepting 
 
AC. I work with either automobiles or  computers, both of which use AC  and 
DC - so I guess I am alternating  currently!
