Well Greg,
You can contact The Tesla Foundation. Hmmmm...I think the one
which you want to contact is in downtown Belgrade, Yugoslavia.
Good luck on the Yugoslavia address..<grin> I was a member of
the Colorado group which is now defunct.
You might also contact Tom Beardon... He can probably answer
your questions. He knows much of Tesla's work and history.
Bruce may be able to tell you how to contact Tom...
REgards, Mike
