Re: [TCML] Something interesting



Ed, 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.

Thanks for the note. I'd sure like to see the picture or any others you thing are relevant.
