decade of effort I know that I'm in the decade of effort I know that I'm in the presence of a great philanthropist and presence of a great philanthropist and presence of a great philanthropist and therefore do not hesitate to leave the therefore do not hesitate to leave the therefore do not hesitate to leave the apportionment of my interest and apportionment of my interest and apportionment of my interest and compensation entirely to your generosity compensation entirely to your generosity compensation entirely to your generosity don't flatter me Mr Tesla let's get down don't flatter me Mr Tesla let's get down don't flatter me Mr Tesla let's get down to Brass tax what will it cost my plan to Brass tax what will it cost my plan to Brass tax what will it cost my plan requires two transmitting Towers one to requires two transmitting Towers one to requires two transmitting Towers one to transmit across the Atlantic and the transmit across the Atlantic and the transmit across the Atlantic and the other across the Pacific the former other across the Pacific the former other across the Pacific the former would require an expenditure of would require an expenditure of would require an expenditure of approximately approximately approximately $100,000 the latter about a quarter of a $100,000 the latter about a quarter of a $100,000 the latter about a quarter of a million let's talk about one ocean at a million let's talk about one ocean at a million let's talk about one ocean at a time what would I get for funding the time what would I get for funding the time what would I get for funding the construction of a wireless plant across construction of a wireless plant across construction of a wireless plant across the Atlantic its working capacity would the Atlantic its working capacity would the Atlantic its working capacity would equal at least four of the present ocean equal at least four of the present ocean equal at least four of the present ocean cables and it would take 6 to 8 months cables and it would take 6 to 8 months cables and it would take 6 to 8 months to complete what about Marcone statson to complete what about Marcone statson to complete what about Marcone statson says his costs are 17th of your quot says his costs are 17th of your quot says his costs are 17th of your quot and that is so however there are key and that is so however there are key and that is so however there are key elements missing for his success elements missing for his success elements missing for his success elements which can only be found in my elements which can only be found in my elements which can only be found in my patents in apparatus universally patents in apparatus universally patents in apparatus universally identified with my name and published in identified with my name and published in identified with my name and published in writings dating back to 1890 and 1893 writings dating back to 1890 and 1893 writings dating back to 1890 and 1893 when Mar Cony was still pulling his when Mar Cony was still pulling his when Mar Cony was still pulling his mother's Apron Strings he transmitted mother's Apron Strings he transmitted mother's Apron Strings he transmitted 1,400 words from ship to shore right 1,400 words from ship to shore right 1,400 words from ship to shore right here in New York during last year's here in New York during last year's here in New York during last year's America's Cup races I know I was there I America's Cup races I know I was there I America's Cup races I know I was there I saw his equipment mere Child's Play he's saw his equipment mere Child's Play he's saw his equipment mere Child's Play he's using equipment designed by others and using equipment designed by others and using equipment designed by others and also the wrong frequency the slightest
