"But although his main Westinghouse transformer could handle 50 to 60
kva, it looks like his supply transformers were all together rated at
only 29 kva. If he pushed it like we do today, he could have gotten
3 times that power for short periods of time, or maybe 90 kva bursts.

That would have depended on the regulation/impedance of the power line,
about which we know nothing. I might not have been able to handle
anything like that peak load, depending on the prime mover and inertia
of the system.
