Re: [TCML] Something interesting
Wow, Anthony! Sounds great. Hey, do it at your leisure. We would love to
see it all.
If you need a web site to put on, I'm sure I could talk the owner of
classictesla.com into hosting all of it.
Best regards,
Bart

The Smithsonian, specifically, the Archives Center at the National
Museum of American History, possesses the papers of Kenneth M. Swezey,
who was a close friend of Tesla's during the last 19 years of Tesla's
life. The collection consists of about 25 boxes. I've been wanting to
gather more rare Tesla papers, so I travelled there to see what I
could find. It turns out there was a lot. I made over 250 photocopies.
There were letters from Tesla, letters to Tesla (from such people as
President Roosevelt), countless Tesla news articles, personal
manuscripts written by Tesla outlining his discoveries,
photographs...basically every single thing relating to Tesla you could
imagine. The guy kept all of the original publications of the Tesla
Society headed by Leland Anderson, for example. I just got home and
haven't even looked over any of it because I spent the whole two days
photocopying non-stop. I now have to sort through it all (and decipher
Tesla's handwriting). I will definitely scan the picture and send it
to anyone interested, along with anything else that is interesting.
