Re: [TCML] Something interesting
Yes Anthony,
I also would be interested in seeing the photo's (especially the smashed
up wood of the flat infamous flat coil).

I hope this is not considered off-topic. I'm in Washington, DC right
now, looking at more Tesla papers at the Smithsonian Institution. I
thought I'd mention something interesting. I found a letter by someone
who knew Tesla at his laboratory in Shoreham (Wardenclyffe). The
letter (dated in the 60s) mentioned that the attic of a house
neighboring Wardenclyffe was full of old Tesla apparati from the
laboratory. I wonder if any of this is still around? In addition,
there were photographs of Wardenclyffe from the 50s, showing the
laboratory with some of Tesla's stuff still in it. I'm sure many here
have seen the picture of the Wardenclyffe lab with Tesla's single
terminal (pancake) coil hanging on the wall. Well, there was a picture
of it from the late 50s still hanging on the wall (for all those
years)! The wood on which it was constructed was all smashed up and
the windings were missing. I also found the exact address of Tesla's
Colorado Springs lab: 1402 E Pikes Peaks Ave, according to one of the
documents in the collection.

Very interesting indeed and surely "on topic". I wonder if it
would be possible to see those photographs? Also curious as to how
you got access to the papers - didn't realize the Smithsonian offered
that kind of service.
