Tesla's USA Patents
Tesla Researchers,
Apparently the reference "Glenn, Jim (ed), 1994, THE COMPLETE PATENTS OF
NIKOLA TESLA, Barnes & Nobel, 535pp" contains 112 USA patents in Tesla's
name. I don't have this reference, but from examining many others I have
built up a database of many details concerning 113 USA patents which I
believe to be in Tesla's name.
I would appreciate it if anyone could check the following summary, and maybe
fill in some of the question marks or make corrections. A page reference
from the above book for each patent would be even more appreciated.
Feel free to email responses privately, and the final list will be posted to
this list in the future.
I am still gathering information on foreign patents. Does anyone know of
any patent search engines on Internet?
Regards & lets get the facts right,
