The award of the Edison medal to Nikola Tesla is most appropriate, in view of the early contribution that he made to alternating-current motors. In order to recognize that contribution, one must go...

“Meritorious Achievements in His Early Original Work in Polyphase and High-Frequency Currents” to Be Honored on May 18 The seventh Edison medal, which was awarded to Nikola Tesla on Dec. 13, 1916,...

The first impressions are those to which we cling most in later life. I like to think of George Westinghouse as he appeared to me in 1888, when I saw him for the first time. The tremendous potential...

In the last issue of The Electrical World I find an article on my “Drehstrom” patent which appeared originally in Industries , and is, I believe, from the pen of the able editor of that journal. Some...

Alternate current machines of high frequency; curious experiments with Geissler tubes and lamps; an exploded notion; noiseless alternating arcs; constant current and constant potential; interested...

To the Editor of The Electrical World: SIR: About a year ago I had the pleasure of bringing before the American Institute of Electrical Engineers the results of some of my work on alternate current...
