Re: [TCML] Tesla motors

[Ed Phillips <evp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Very interesting.  Does the owner know the history of those motors 
[single phase, poly phase, or at least one of each?]?  If polyphase how 
many phases? How can he prove they were made by Tesla?  Were they 
experimental units?  It would be really interesting to see the 
nameplates, if any; the oldest Tesla nameplate I've seen is the one the 
generator plate from Niagra Falls which Smithsonian has [or at least use 
to have] in its display of Edison stuff..  Do you mean to imply that 
there are also DC motors made by Tesla?  That's something new to me.

   Further question.  If these were made by Tesla where were they 
made?  His writings sure show some interesting and beautifully made 
stuff and I assume it was made in his New York lab but don't recall 
seeing anything saying so specifically.
