explanation that explained the lagging explanation that explained the lagging of magnetic effects when electromagnetic of magnetic effects when electromagnetic of magnetic effects when electromagnetic forces are changed recognized some flaws forces are changed recognized some flaws forces are changed recognized some flaws in pin's talk as this would be one of in pin's talk as this would be one of in pin's talk as this would be one of his earliest attempts to express himself his earliest attempts to express himself his earliest attempts to express himself before his peers in the difficult before his peers in the difficult before his peers in the difficult English language he carefully bolstered English language he carefully bolstered English language he carefully bolstered the addendum by bringing along the addendum by bringing along the addendum by bringing along calculations and drawings working in calculations and drawings working in calculations and drawings working in yonas Stein Mets had developed a yonas Stein Mets had developed a yonas Stein Mets had developed a singlephase commutator motor a year singlephase commutator motor a year singlephase commutator motor a year before in the summer of before in the summer of before in the summer of 1890 with brazenly long shoulder length 1890 with brazenly long shoulder length 1890 with brazenly long shoulder length hair The Gnome was dressed in a slightly hair The Gnome was dressed in a slightly hair The Gnome was dressed in a slightly wrinkled three-piece suit adorned with wrinkled three-piece suit adorned with wrinkled three-piece suit adorned with an opulent Watch chain and a pair of P an opulent Watch chain and a pair of P an opulent Watch chain and a pair of P that hung distinctively from a strap that hung distinctively from a strap that hung distinctively from a strap attached to his right collar standing to attached to his right collar standing to attached to his right collar standing to his full height of 4T and reaching for his glasses to read 4T and reaching for his glasses to read off his calculations Stein Mets noted in off his calculations Stein Mets noted in off his calculations Stein Mets noted in his German accent that Faris built only his German accent that Faris built only his German accent that Faris built only a little toy he also went on to correct a little toy he also went on to correct a little toy he also went on to correct poopins implication that the doski poopins implication that the doski poopins implication that the doski creation was the first to use a creation was the first to use a creation was the first to use a three-phase system I cannot agree with three-phase system I cannot agree with three-phase system I cannot agree with that in the least for that already that in the least for that already that in the least for that already exists in the old Tesla Motor summing up exists in the old Tesla Motor summing up exists in the old Tesla Motor summing up Stein concluded I really cannot see Stein concluded I really cannot see Stein concluded I really cannot see anything new in the new D volski system anything new in the new D volski system anything new in the new D volski system it would take a few months for steinetz it would take a few months for steinetz it would take a few months for steinetz to realize why his colleagues raised to realize why his colleagues raised to realize why his colleagues raised their eyes eyebrows as he dashed all their eyes eyebrows as he dashed all their eyes eyebrows as he dashed all hopes for davoli's claims nevertheless

hopes for davoli's claims nevertheless hopes for davoli's claims nevertheless they were impressed with his analysis they were impressed with his analysis they were impressed with his analysis and mathematical expertise elu Thompson and mathematical expertise elu Thompson and mathematical expertise elu Thompson returned to his firm of Thompson Houston returned to his firm of Thompson Houston returned to his firm of Thompson Houston and Lynn Massachusetts with the and Lynn Massachusetts with the and Lynn Massachusetts with the knowledge that a new mathematical genius knowledge that a new mathematical genius knowledge that a new mathematical genius had arrived from Europe and soon had arrived from Europe and soon had arrived from Europe and soon thereafter Thompson Houston offered thereafter Thompson Houston offered thereafter Thompson Houston offered Steins a job at Lynn meanwhile in Pittsburgh unbeknown Lynn meanwhile in Pittsburgh unbeknown to Edison Wes house had been to Edison Wes house had been to Edison Wes house had been surreptitiously meeting with Henry surreptitiously meeting with Henry surreptitiously meeting with Henry Villard Edison's financial backer over a Villard Edison's financial backer over a Villard Edison's financial backer over a 2-year period to discuss a possible 2-year period to discuss a possible 2-year period to discuss a possible merger Villard who had recently combined merger Villard who had recently combined merger Villard who had recently combined a number of smaller companies with a number of smaller companies with a number of smaller companies with Edison Electric to create Edison General Edison Electric to create Edison General Edison Electric to create Edison General Electric was well aware that Edison did Electric was well aware that Edison did Electric was well aware that Edison did not get along with not get along with not get along with Westinghouse Villard was an immigrant Westinghouse Villard was an immigrant Westinghouse Villard was an immigrant from Germany the son of a Bavarian judge from Germany the son of a Bavarian judge from Germany the son of a Bavarian judge having tried in his earlier days to set having tried in his earlier days to set having tried in his earlier days to set up a Free Soil German settlement in up a Free Soil German settlement in up a Free Soil German settlement in Kansas Villard was the individual who Kansas Villard was the individual who Kansas Villard was the individual who drove the golden spike in the Northern drove the golden spike in the Northern drove the golden spike in the Northern Pacific railroad to link the West Coast Pacific railroad to link the West Coast Pacific railroad to link the West Coast with the East he conferred with J Pier with the East he conferred with J Pier with the East he conferred with J Pier Pont Morgan the real power behind the Pont Morgan the real power behind the Pont Morgan the real power behind the operation and had Morgan send Edward operation and had Morgan send Edward operation and had Morgan send Edward Dean Adams a longtime banking associate Dean Adams a longtime banking associate Dean Adams a longtime banking associate to Meno Park to try and get Edison to to Meno Park to try and get Edison to to Meno Park to try and get Edison to align with align with align with Westinghouse thriving on beating the Westinghouse thriving on beating the Westinghouse thriving on beating the other guy Edison would hear none of it other guy Edison would hear none of it other guy Edison would hear none of it Westinghouse he said has gone crazy over Westinghouse he said has gone crazy over Westinghouse he said has gone crazy over sudden excession of wealth or something sudden excession of wealth or something sudden excession of wealth or something something unknown to me and is flying a something unknown to me and is flying a something unknown to me and is flying a kite that will land him in the mud kite that will land him in the mud kite that will land him in the mud sooner or later legal fees in trying to

sooner or later legal fees in trying to sooner or later legal fees in trying to protect the Edison Light Bulb patents protect the Edison Light Bulb patents protect the Edison Light Bulb patents had already cost Edison $2 million and had already cost Edison $2 million and had already cost Edison $2 million and Westinghouse the same the Edison Camp Westinghouse the same the Edison Camp Westinghouse the same the Edison Camp had decided to sue Westinghouse rather had decided to sue Westinghouse rather had decided to sue Westinghouse rather than Thompson Houston because the than Thompson Houston because the than Thompson Houston because the Pittsburgh company had purchased United Pittsburgh company had purchased United Pittsburgh company had purchased United States Electric the concern that held States Electric the concern that held States Electric the concern that held the competing patents from soya man and the competing patents from soya man and the competing patents from soya man and ham Maxon while Thompson Houston had ham Maxon while Thompson Houston had ham Maxon while Thompson Houston had only a lease agreement only a lease agreement only a lease agreement thus while two giants fought each other thus while two giants fought each other thus while two giants fought each other in what Edison called a suicide of time in what Edison called a suicide of time in what Edison called a suicide of time Thompson Houston got rich on July the Thompson Houston got rich on July the Thompson Houston got rich on July the 14th 1891 after many years of battles 14th 1891 after many years of battles 14th 1891 after many years of battles and appeals on priority of invention of and appeals on priority of invention of and appeals on priority of invention of the light bulb judge Bradley ruled in the light bulb judge Bradley ruled in the light bulb judge Bradley ruled in favor of Edison although Westinghouse favor of Edison although Westinghouse favor of Edison although Westinghouse was caught with the wrong light bulb was caught with the wrong light bulb was caught with the wrong light bulb patents his Tesla AC power system was an patents his Tesla AC power system was an patents his Tesla AC power system was an asset worth attaining but Westinghouse asset worth attaining but Westinghouse asset worth attaining but Westinghouse was proving difficult to negotiate with was proving difficult to negotiate with was proving difficult to negotiate with vard therefore began to make overtures vard therefore began to make overtures vard therefore began to make overtures to Tesla directly but the inventor had to Tesla directly but the inventor had to Tesla directly but the inventor had to yield to Westing House's to yield to Westing House's to yield to Westing House's decisions Dear Sir Tesla wrote Villard decisions Dear Sir Tesla wrote Villard decisions Dear Sir Tesla wrote Villard in his tidiest penmanship I have in his tidiest penmanship I have in his tidiest penmanship I have approached Mr Westinghouse in a number approached Mr Westinghouse in a number approached Mr Westinghouse in a number of ways and endeavored to get to an of ways and endeavored to get to an of ways and endeavored to get to an understanding but the results have not understanding but the results have not understanding but the results have not been very promising realizing this and been very promising realizing this and been very promising realizing this and also considering carefully the chances also considering carefully the chances also considering carefully the chances and probabilities of success I have and probabilities of success I have and probabilities of success I have concluded that I cannot not associate concluded that I cannot not associate concluded that I cannot not associate myself with the undertaking you myself with the undertaking you myself with the undertaking you contemplate Tesla reluctantly concluded contemplate Tesla reluctantly concluded contemplate Tesla reluctantly concluded the letter by wishing the financier best

the letter by wishing the financier best the letter by wishing the financier best success in his Pioneer success in his Pioneer success in his Pioneer Enterprise Villard switched tactics and Enterprise Villard switched tactics and Enterprise Villard switched tactics and approached Thompson Houston with a approached Thompson Houston with a approached Thompson Houston with a thought of buying them out he had gone thought of buying them out he had gone thought of buying them out he had gone up to Lyn Massachusetts in February and up to Lyn Massachusetts in February and up to Lyn Massachusetts in February and had continued secret negotiations with had continued secret negotiations with had continued secret negotiations with Charles coffin chief executive officer Charles coffin chief executive officer Charles coffin chief executive officer CEO of Thompson Houston throughout the CEO of Thompson Houston throughout the CEO of Thompson Houston throughout the summer in December meeting was held at summer in December meeting was held at summer in December meeting was held at 23 Wall Street in Morgan's office to 23 Wall Street in Morgan's office to 23 Wall Street in Morgan's office to finalize plans for a merger after Morgan finalize plans for a merger after Morgan finalize plans for a merger after Morgan looked over the financial records of looked over the financial records of looked over the financial records of both companies he realized that Edison both companies he realized that Edison both companies he realized that Edison Electric which was in debt for $3.5 Electric which was in debt for $3.5 Electric which was in debt for $3.5 million had less Revenue than the million had less Revenue than the million had less Revenue than the smaller and solvent Thompson Houston smaller and solvent Thompson Houston smaller and solvent Thompson Houston Morgan therefore reversed himself and Morgan therefore reversed himself and Morgan therefore reversed himself and suggested that Thompson Houston buy out suggested that Thompson Houston buy out suggested that Thompson Houston buy out Edison Electric either way he created a Edison Electric either way he created a Edison Electric either way he created a monopoly simultaneously more maneuvered monopoly simultaneously more maneuvered monopoly simultaneously more maneuvered Villard out of the company altogether he Villard out of the company altogether he Villard out of the company altogether he had to blame someone for the problems had to blame someone for the problems had to blame someone for the problems and Charles coffin took control of the and Charles coffin took control of the and Charles coffin took control of the new new new consolidation they named the company consolidation they named the company consolidation they named the company general electric general electric general electric GE because of the enormous debt of his GE because of the enormous debt of his GE because of the enormous debt of his company and the possibility that he was company and the possibility that he was company and the possibility that he was working with inferior DC equipment working with inferior DC equipment working with inferior DC equipment Edison had lost his Edge the thought of Edison had lost his Edge the thought of Edison had lost his Edge the thought of working with that patent PIR U Thompson working with that patent PIR U Thompson working with that patent PIR U Thompson and the removal of his own name from the and the removal of his own name from the and the removal of his own name from the Marquee made the electrical wizard for Marquee made the electrical wizard for Marquee made the electrical wizard for the time a beaten man although he the time a beaten man although he the time a beaten man although he stirred The Hornet's Nest before he left stirred The Hornet's Nest before he left stirred The Hornet's Nest before he left Edison realized that a new age of Edison realized that a new age of Edison realized that a new age of electricity had arrived one that would

electricity had arrived one that would electricity had arrived one that would not countenance his Common Sense trial not countenance his Common Sense trial not countenance his Common Sense trial and error approach over a year before and error approach over a year before and error approach over a year before the actual merger was completed he wrote the actual merger was completed he wrote the actual merger was completed he wrote Villard it is clear that my usefulness Villard it is clear that my usefulness Villard it is clear that my usefulness is gone viewing it from this light you is gone viewing it from this light you is gone viewing it from this light you will see how impossible it is for me to will see how impossible it is for me to will see how impossible it is for me to Spur my mind under the shadow of Spur my mind under the shadow of Spur my mind under the shadow of possible future affiliation possible future affiliation possible future affiliation I would now ask that you not oppose my I would now ask that you not oppose my I would now ask that you not oppose my gradual retirement from the lighting gradual retirement from the lighting gradual retirement from the lighting business which will enable me to enter business which will enable me to enter business which will enable me to enter into fresh and congenial fields of work into fresh and congenial fields of work into fresh and congenial fields of work and so Edison turned his interests to and so Edison turned his interests to and so Edison turned his interests to furthering the work of Edward mybridge a furthering the work of Edward mybridge a furthering the work of Edward mybridge a Pioneer in Motion Pictures in 1888 and Pioneer in Motion Pictures in 1888 and Pioneer in Motion Pictures in 1888 and 1891 he had his first patents on a 1891 he had his first patents on a 1891 he had his first patents on a device he called the cograph and a few device he called the cograph and a few device he called the cograph and a few years later he developed a fully working years later he developed a fully working years later he developed a fully working movie camera and projection system in movie camera and projection system in movie camera and projection system in 1893 Edison could write to the elderly 1893 Edison could write to the elderly 1893 Edison could write to the elderly mybridge that he now had a peep show mybridge that he now had a peep show mybridge that he now had a peep show device that people would pay 5 cents to device that people would pay 5 cents to device that people would pay 5 cents to see the morganization of GE created an see the morganization of GE created an see the morganization of GE created an even greater Foe for Westinghouse but even greater Foe for Westinghouse but even greater Foe for Westinghouse but also a critical problem for GE whereas also a critical problem for GE whereas also a critical problem for GE whereas Westinghouse was blocked from using an Westinghouse was blocked from using an Westinghouse was blocked from using an efficient light bulb GE was blocked from efficient light bulb GE was blocked from efficient light bulb GE was blocked from generating AC as the Edison patents were generating AC as the Edison patents were generating AC as the Edison patents were only valid for another 2 years certainly only valid for another 2 years certainly only valid for another 2 years certainly Westinghouse was in the better position Westinghouse was in the better position Westinghouse was in the better position but in 1891 to '92 it was still too but in 1891 to '92 it was still too but in 1891 to '92 it was still too early in the game to realize this from early in the game to realize this from early in the game to realize this from the point of view of the courts it was the point of view of the courts it was the point of view of the courts it was still undecided as to who the author of

still undecided as to who the author of still undecided as to who the author of the AC polyphase system really was even the AC polyphase system really was even the AC polyphase system really was even though Westinghouse had the Ferrari's though Westinghouse had the Ferrari's though Westinghouse had the Ferrari's patent trump card to back those of patent trump card to back those of patent trump card to back those of Teslas and so over the next few years Teslas and so over the next few years Teslas and so over the next few years Westinghouse was forced to sue not only Westinghouse was forced to sue not only Westinghouse was forced to sue not only a number of subsidiaries of GE but also a number of subsidiaries of GE but also a number of subsidiaries of GE but also some Independents such as William some Independents such as William some Independents such as William Stanley who were now producing polyphase Stanley who were now producing polyphase Stanley who were now producing polyphase systems on their own from ge's point of systems on their own from ge's point of systems on their own from ge's point of view there was a whole host of patents view there was a whole host of patents view there was a whole host of patents in AC that Thompson owned but any others in AC that Thompson owned but any others in AC that Thompson owned but any others that they could obtain would undoubtedly that they could obtain would undoubtedly that they could obtain would undoubtedly help in the legal Arena thus they help in the legal Arena thus they help in the legal Arena thus they approached Charles steets with a scheme approached Charles steets with a scheme approached Charles steets with a scheme to work on improvements on AC designs in to work on improvements on AC designs in to work on improvements on AC designs in such a way that they would obscure such a way that they would obscure such a way that they would obscure Tesla's role attracted to the Intrigue Tesla's role attracted to the Intrigue Tesla's role attracted to the Intrigue Steins accepted the challenge the fry Steins accepted the challenge the fry Steins accepted the challenge the fry between Westinghouse and GE took a new between Westinghouse and GE took a new between Westinghouse and GE took a new turn in the race to win the bid to light turn in the race to win the bid to light turn in the race to win the bid to light the upcoming Chicago World's Fair and to the upcoming Chicago World's Fair and to the upcoming Chicago World's Fair and to harness Niagara Falls in the courts the harness Niagara Falls in the courts the harness Niagara Falls in the courts the suits switched from light bulbs to power suits switched from light bulbs to power suits switched from light bulbs to power generation and at their respective generation and at their respective generation and at their respective plants attention turned toward way to plants attention turned toward way to plants attention turned toward way to compete with the success achieved by compete with the success achieved by compete with the success achieved by Brown and du rolski for Westinghouse Brown and du rolski for Westinghouse Brown and du rolski for Westinghouse Corporation Schmid Scott and lamb could Corporation Schmid Scott and lamb could Corporation Schmid Scott and lamb could confer with Tesla while stillw and confer with Tesla while stillw and confer with Tesla while stillw and shellenberger brooded and the money men shellenberger brooded and the money men shellenberger brooded and the money men reluctantly agreed to dismantle the very reluctantly agreed to dismantle the very reluctantly agreed to dismantle the very lucrative but outmoded goar Gibbs lucrative but outmoded goar Gibbs lucrative but outmoded goar Gibbs machinery for GE the situation was more machinery for GE the situation was more machinery for GE the situation was more complex they had hoped that someone like complex they had hoped that someone like complex they had hoped that someone like Stein Metz or Thompson could come up Stein Metz or Thompson could come up Stein Metz or Thompson could come up with a competing design but they hadn't with a competing design but they hadn't with a competing design but they hadn't realized that Tesla held all the
