Nice - since he proposed it in 1922, fairly early in his publishing career, Hugo Gernsback must have been responsible for the very first Kickstarter campaign. Do we know if it's reached its funding target yet? Smile

Westinghouse probably killed it due to similarities of design. Nikola (pronounced "knee-CO-la" not "NiCK-o-la") Tesla probably spun (with great delight) in his grave as he preferred large devices.
