COMMUNICATION - Mr. Tesla's Work

 To the Editor of the Western Electrician.

I note with interest the article in the issue of the Western Electrician of February 8th, entitled "Mr. Tesla Makes Further Disclosures." I have reason to believe that Mr. Nikola Tesla has already transmitted electrical energy without conducting wires to greater distances than any other inventor of "wireless" that the world has produced. In an interview with Daniel Drawbaugh, inventor of the telephone, some time ago he said that the Hertzian ray, or radio-telegraphy, is old. Mr. Drawbaugh said that the best transmission is through the earth. I have reason to believe that he is right. It seems very clear to me that some inventors are making use of some of Mr. Tesla's apparatus in modified forms.
