Jefferson Echo reported war between Jefferson Echo reported war between Marone and Tesla in their headlines in Marone and Tesla in their headlines in Marone and Tesla in their headlines in 1902 according to the paper the United 1902 according to the paper the United 1902 according to the paper the United States Marone company had purchased land States Marone company had purchased land States Marone company had purchased land west of bridge Hampton and was planning west of bridge Hampton and was planning west of bridge Hampton and was planning on constructing its own competing 185 ft on constructing its own competing 185 ft on constructing its own competing 185 ft Tower with New York connections to Tower with New York connections to Tower with New York connections to Western Union it should become the most Western Union it should become the most Western Union it should become the most important Wireless Center in the country important Wireless Center in the country important Wireless Center in the country whereas Marone was going to send his whereas Marone was going to send his whereas Marone was going to send his signals through the air the paper said signals through the air the paper said signals through the air the paper said Tesla plans through his 500t deep shaft Tesla plans through his 500t deep shaft Tesla plans through his 500t deep shaft to send messages through the Earth as to send messages through the Earth as to send messages through the Earth as well though the hollow was 120 ft the well though the hollow was 120 ft the well though the hollow was 120 ft the gist of the report was accurate having gist of the report was accurate having gist of the report was accurate having first sent an emissary Marone himself first sent an emissary Marone himself first sent an emissary Marone himself hired a horse and buggy one rainy hired a horse and buggy one rainy hired a horse and buggy one rainy morning to go out to Warden Cliff to morning to go out to Warden Cliff to morning to go out to Warden Cliff to meet with Tesla and see the operation meet with Tesla and see the operation meet with Tesla and see the operation with his own eyes marone's limitations with his own eyes marone's limitations with his own eyes marone's limitations became apparent in conversation and this became apparent in conversation and this became apparent in conversation and this gave Tesla the courage to return to see gave Tesla the courage to return to see gave Tesla the courage to return to see Morgan he had stayed out of Morgan's way Morgan he had stayed out of Morgan's way Morgan he had stayed out of Morgan's way for nearly a year but now it was clear for nearly a year but now it was clear for nearly a year but now it was clear to the inventor that once his partner to the inventor that once his partner to the inventor that once his partner realized the work accomplished with so realized the work accomplished with so realized the work accomplished with so little funds at hand he would reconsider little funds at hand he would reconsider little funds at hand he would reconsider his position and agree to resume his position and agree to resume his position and agree to resume investment all the inventor had to do investment all the inventor had to do investment all the inventor had to do was change the man's mind on September was change the man's mind on September was change the man's mind on September the 5th Tesla wrote the financier to the 5th Tesla wrote the financier to the 5th Tesla wrote the financier to inform him that the foreign patents have inform him that the foreign patents have inform him that the foreign patents have been assigned to the company this letter been assigned to the company this letter been assigned to the company this letter explained clearly that his wireless explained clearly that his wireless explained clearly that his wireless system ensured privacy and had the system ensured privacy and had the system ensured privacy and had the ability to create a virtually infinite ability to create a virtually infinite ability to create a virtually infinite number of separate channels that were number of separate channels that were number of separate channels that were dependent not only on particular dependent not only on particular dependent not only on particular combinations of diing frequencies but

combinations of diing frequencies but combinations of diing frequencies but also on their order of succession in also on their order of succession in also on their order of succession in essence the inventor had explain to essence the inventor had explain to essence the inventor had explain to Morgan the concepts inherent in such Morgan the concepts inherent in such Morgan the concepts inherent in such devices as the protected channels on devices as the protected channels on devices as the protected channels on Cable TV digital recording and the Cable TV digital recording and the Cable TV digital recording and the wireless telephone scrambler in the wireless telephone scrambler in the wireless telephone scrambler in the letter Tesla explained that he was letter Tesla explained that he was letter Tesla explained that he was forced to increase the power of His atus forced to increase the power of His atus forced to increase the power of His atus because of bold appropriations of his because of bold appropriations of his because of bold appropriations of his equipment marone's piracy but his mere equipment marone's piracy but his mere equipment marone's piracy but his mere Kela also betrayed paranoid Tendencies Kela also betrayed paranoid Tendencies Kela also betrayed paranoid Tendencies even though he was attempting even though he was attempting even though he was attempting reconciliation the only way to fully reconciliation the only way to fully reconciliation the only way to fully protect myself was to develop apparatus protect myself was to develop apparatus protect myself was to develop apparatus of such power as to enable me to control of such power as to enable me to control of such power as to enable me to control effectively the vibrations throughout effectively the vibrations throughout effectively the vibrations throughout the globe now if I had received this the globe now if I had received this the globe now if I had received this necessity earlier I would have gone to necessity earlier I would have gone to necessity earlier I would have gone to Niagara and with the capital you have so Niagara and with the capital you have so Niagara and with the capital you have so generously Advanced I could have accomp generously Advanced I could have accomp generously Advanced I could have accomp this easily but unfortunately my plans this easily but unfortunately my plans this easily but unfortunately my plans were already made and I could not change were already made and I could not change were already made and I could not change I endeavored once to explain this to you I endeavored once to explain this to you I endeavored once to explain this to you much to my sorrow as I impressed you much to my sorrow as I impressed you much to my sorrow as I impressed you wrongly nothing remained then but to do wrongly nothing remained then but to do wrongly nothing remained then but to do the best I could under the the best I could under the the best I could under the circumstances Morgan's response was circumstances Morgan's response was circumstances Morgan's response was utter astonishment Tesla had not only utter astonishment Tesla had not only utter astonishment Tesla had not only reiterated the breach of contract but he reiterated the breach of contract but he reiterated the breach of contract but he had also revealed a striking flaw in his had also revealed a striking flaw in his had also revealed a striking flaw in his plan whereas he would have to haul in plan whereas he would have to haul in plan whereas he would have to haul in continuing truckloads of coal to provide continuing truckloads of coal to provide continuing truckloads of coal to provide the energy required to fire up his the energy required to fire up his the energy required to fire up his transmitter on Long Island if he had set transmitter on Long Island if he had set transmitter on Long Island if he had set up operations at Niagara there would up operations at Niagara there would up operations at Niagara there would have been easy access to unlimited have been easy access to unlimited have been easy access to unlimited amounts of power and thus the operation amounts of power and thus the operation amounts of power and thus the operation would have been considerably less

would have been considerably less would have been considerably less expensive to initiate furthermore there expensive to initiate furthermore there expensive to initiate furthermore there was a standing offer by Rankin and his was a standing offer by Rankin and his was a standing offer by Rankin and his associates to provide Power at The Falls associates to provide Power at The Falls associates to provide Power at The Falls for little or no cost thereby reducing for little or no cost thereby reducing for little or no cost thereby reducing potential expenses even more potential expenses even more potential expenses even more nevertheless Tesla incredibly informs nevertheless Tesla incredibly informs nevertheless Tesla incredibly informs Morgan that even on Long Island he could Morgan that even on Long Island he could Morgan that even on Long Island he could outdo the power of the giant cataract by outdo the power of the giant cataract by outdo the power of the giant cataract by straining every part of my Machinery to straining every part of my Machinery to straining every part of my Machinery to the utmost Tesla wrote I should be able the utmost Tesla wrote I should be able the utmost Tesla wrote I should be able to reach a rate of energy delivery of 10 to reach a rate of energy delivery of 10 to reach a rate of energy delivery of 10 millions of horsepower this production millions of horsepower this production millions of horsepower this production he proclaimed would be equal to more he proclaimed would be equal to more he proclaimed would be equal to more than twice that of the entire Falls of than twice that of the entire Falls of than twice that of the entire Falls of Niagara thus the waves generated by my Niagara thus the waves generated by my Niagara thus the waves generated by my transmitter will be the greatest transmitter will be the greatest transmitter will be the greatest spontaneous manifestation of energy on spontaneous manifestation of energy on spontaneous manifestation of energy on Earth the strongest effect produced at a Earth the strongest effect produced at a Earth the strongest effect produced at a point diametrically opposite the point diametrically opposite the point diametrically opposite the transmitter which in this instance is transmitter which in this instance is transmitter which in this instance is situated a few hundred miles off the situated a few hundred miles off the situated a few hundred miles off the western coast of western coast of western coast of Australia whether or not this statement Australia whether or not this statement Australia whether or not this statement was true it was counterproductive to was true it was counterproductive to was true it was counterproductive to divulge this most likely Tesla is divulge this most likely Tesla is divulge this most likely Tesla is discussing the production of a single discussing the production of a single discussing the production of a single massive burst of electrical energy massive burst of electrical energy massive burst of electrical energy rather than a continuous never-ending rather than a continuous never-ending rather than a continuous never-ending flow in either case having spent a year flow in either case having spent a year flow in either case having spent a year in the Outbacks of Colorado the bom in the Outbacks of Colorado the bom in the Outbacks of Colorado the bom Vivant was not about to give up his Vivant was not about to give up his Vivant was not about to give up his lifestyle at the elegant waldof for lifestyle at the elegant waldof for lifestyle at the elegant waldof for another Lon the Excursion to the dreary another Lon the Excursion to the dreary another Lon the Excursion to the dreary location near Buffalo neurotically location near Buffalo neurotically location near Buffalo neurotically impelled the inventor was stirred to impelled the inventor was stirred to impelled the inventor was stirred to impress the financial magnet and all impress the financial magnet and all impress the financial magnet and all Morgan wanted was to Signal ocean liners Morgan wanted was to Signal ocean liners Morgan wanted was to Signal ocean liners and send mors code to Europe later in
