Hello!
Just received a great old magazine "Science and Invention" from June 1931, 
inside is a funny 2-page article on how kids can recreate some of Tesla's 
Experiments using "their parents old Violet Ray Machine from up in the 
attic".  The picture under the title has 2 kids "electric sword fighting" 
with metal rods pushed into the ends of the Violet Ray electrode holders.   
Mentions Tesla's lectures and how to recreate some experiments at home.
Who else out there started out doing Tesla Experiments with Violet Ray and 
Diathermy Machines??  The electric sword fight is a new one by me!  Sounds 
fun!  Anyone ever take apart a ca. 1910 Tesla portable x-ray apparatus?
