The Teslian - Vol. I, No. 7 & Supplement Page 5

W. K. Townsend, District Judge (in a decision upholding some fundamental Tesla Patents):

"It remained to the genius of Tesla to capture the unruly, unrestrained and hitherto opposing elements in the field of nature and art and to harness them to draw the machines of man. It was he who first showed how to transform the toy of Arago into an engine of power, the laboratory experiment of Bailey into a practical successful motor, the indicator into a driver. He first conceived the idea that the very impediments of reversal in direction, the contradictions of alternations might be transformed into power-producing rotation — a whirling field of force. What others looked upon as invincible barriers, impassable currents and contradictory forces, he brought under control and by harmonizing their directions taught how to utilize in practical motors, in distant cities, the power of Niagara."

C. F. Scott, President, American Institute of Electrical Engineers:

"As a matter of history it is the Tesla Principle and the Tesla system which have been the directing factors in modern electrical engineering practice."

B. A. Behrend, Chief Engineer and Author:

"The genius of Tesla has been instrumental in stimulating, if not in creating a wonderful industry, wonderful in magnitude and wonderful in the ingenuity of the apparatus used. " — "Not since the appearance of Faraday's Researches in Electricity has a great experimental truth been voiced so simply and so clearly as the description of Mr. Tesla's great discovery of the generation and utilization of polyphase alternating currents. He left nothing to be done for those who followed him. His paper contained the skeleton even of the mathematical theory. — Were we to seize
