June 17th, 1899 letter from George Scherff to Nikola Tesla

New York, June 17th, 1899
46 & 48 E. Houston Str.

Nikola Tesla, Esq.,
Colorado Springs, Colo.

Dear Mr. Tesla:

Mr. Uhlman reports as follows on the progress of the work: The armature, commutator and brush holders of the independent break are finished. The pump will be finished in a day or two. All the men are still occupied on the break.

As the fields will soon be ready to wind, he inquires if the independent break is to have the same speed as the new oscillator, 1800 revolutions per minute. The turns per layer. As there is plenty of winding space on the new magnets, Mr. Uhlman suggests a larger wire for better radiation.

I inclose statement of expenses for this week.

Shall I make some copies of the German prospectus, and how many?

Respectfully yours,
Geo. Scherff
