Great looking stuff. But I'm reading a fascinating book now called "Empires of Light" (Research for my Martian War books) and the "Edison Wire" really ought to be called "Westinghouse Wire"  Edison was the champion of DC current, which has much less damage potential than AC current, which was the baby of George Westinghouse (with some minor aid from Nikola Tesla). That's why Edison killed an elephant with AC! Yup, and a supporter of his lobbied for a year to get the electric chair adopted as New York's official means of execution! |
