The Teslian - Vol. I, No. 8 Page 7

In the course of our investigations into the subject of power transmission we came upon the inventions of Mr. Nikola Tesla, now so well known for his remarkable achievements, and recognizing the value and originality of his discoveries, and the fundamental character of his patents, at once secured the exclusive right to manufacture and sell apparatus covered by these patents, with a right to any further inventions Mr. Tesla might make relating thereto. We thereupon immediately began to develop and determine the best forms of apparatus required to solve the problem of power transmission, and we have during the past five years worked unceasingly, and at very great expense, with the result that we are now able to undertake the manufacture of apparatus to meet any case that may be presented to us.

The system we offer is an alternating-current one, now known as the "Multiphase" or "Polyphase System", which is the original discovery of Mr. Tesla, and is so fully covered by his patents that we deem it a duty to those contemplating the use of such apparatus to direct their attention to a selection of Mr. Tesla's patents presented herewith. It is worthy of especial note that the originality of Mr. Tesla's discoveries has not been disputed by any manufacturer of electrical power transmitting apparatus.
