I hope Edison and Westinghouse are turning in their graves. They both
screwed Tesla out of Billions.

So did Marconi.

Nah...he was just the inventor of radio, that's all. See below.

This Supreme Court ruling came out shortly after Tesla's death. The case
was Tesla vs Marconi (and thus m II's reference above to Marconi)...

From Wikipedia:

In 1943, the Supreme Court of the United States credited him [Tesla] as

being the inventor of the radio.



The Supreme Court can get it wrong. They also asserted that Lee de Forest
invented the regenerative detector.

But what is radio? Is it just tuned circuits or is it the transmission of
intelligence using radio waves? As far as I know, Nikola Tesla didn't have
much more interest in the communication potential for radio than Tom Edison
had in the "Edison Effect".

And, lets not forget that Heinrich Hertz's experimental apparatus could have
also been used to transmit information with radio waves.

But, I'm sure we can all agree it was a good thing for radio that the
broadcast power scheme failed.

I don't know, Frank...it may have rid us of a number of those
wearing tinfoil hats.
