July 19th, 1899 letter from George Scherff to Nikola Tesla

New York, July 19th, 1899
46 & 48 E. HQuston Str.

Nikola Tesla, Esq.,
Colorado Springs, Colo.

Dear Mr. Tesla:

Mr. Uhlman reports that the work in the shop is on the coherers, commutator, armature and shaft. The work on the coherers, he says, is progressing rapidly.

The parts of the second independent break finished up to date are the castings, armature spider, brush holders, bushing for shaft, magnets, disk, pulley cover, pump arm, pump and ball bearing.

The heavy wax paper used in winding the secondary coils is all exhausted. Another ream of it has been ordered and is expected in a day or so. Mr. Uhlman says he will have some of it cut to the proper size for the spools which have been sent and forward it as soon as possible.

Respectfully,
Geo. Scherff
