<DIV>I found this, believe it or not, on the museum website from none other than
Fred on a talking tour with Bob himself.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">Locally, there is an amusing incident to me,
because this is the museum of wireless and steam, and the George Corliss Steam
Engine Company was in pretty hard shape at the beginning of this century, in
fact, they were essentially out of business…nobody was buying steam engines
anymore…at least of the Corliss type…and so they tried to diversify into the
radio business, and they changed the name of the company to the American-British
Company, and experimented with wireless. And according to the father of one of
our early volunteers here, the American British Company hired Tesla to come up
here and experiment on radio, and that hunk of galena back in the corner…there’s
a picture of it here…supposedly was acquired by Tesla to carry on his
experimentation. Fred – “Were they successful?” No, the American British failed
very quickly.</FONT></DIV>

have been looking for a connection between Massie and Tesla due to Tesla’s
Special article in the Massie and Underhill book, “</DIV>Wireless Telegraphy and
Telephony”", 1908.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The card with this enormous Galena shows a connection between Providence
and Tesla.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Then tonight I found a book, “Wizard: The Life And Times Of Nikola
Tesla” which stated:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>“Throughout 1909 and 1910 the inventor (Tesla) shuffled back and forth
between Providence, Bridgeport, and New York City, where he had installed
various renditions of his turbines.”</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Who else in Rhode Island would Tesla meet when he was here other than
Massie?</DIV>
