	That's most interesting!  Where can I read about it?

	The association between Tesla and Marconi is most interesting indeed! 
Where can I read about THAT?

	Same question.   I don't know the date to which you are referring
 but the AIEE was going strong by the late 1880's, and its publications
are filled with articles related to power generation and transmission.
Think there were many "power companies" in operation by 1890...

	This last gem is the most interesting of all.  A lot of people will be
quite surprised that Tesla was working with microwaves and invented the
microwave magnEtron.  Where can I research that subject?
