  I believe Malcom to be correct in his statement above.  Most of this is due
to modern materials,  techniques, and instrumentation.  I am sure that if
Tesla were still alive and in search of spark, he would be at the top of the
heap today, just as he was then.  His 1899 accomplishments were stunning for
his time, but relatively easy to surpass today.
