[PW] ? Nikola Tesla again

[Peter Macinnis]

Around that time, Tesla gave a lecture to the Royal Institution in 
London -- there is a series of volumes of reprints of these that I last 
saw some twenty years ago, and cannot now find in the library where I 
saw it.

At this point, I was going to appeal for help in identifying the volumes 
when a thunderbolt under my left lughole reminded me that a photocopy 
was taken.  There is nothing wrong with the filing system, so it is 
before me.

I can now say with certainty that the volumes were called "Library of 
Science".  And Tesla DID speak at the RI on Thursday February 4, 1892 on 
"Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequency".  it appears 
at pages 167-182 of its volume, but I must caution that I recollect this 
as a multi-volume work, and I did not note the volume number.  I 
recollect that they were assembled in chronological order.

The Fisherfolk have messed with the OPAC at the library of my alma 
mater, but I suspect that this may help:  Physical sciences. Edited by 
Sir William Lawrence Bragg and George Porter. [Barking, Eng.] Elsevier 
Pub. Co., 1970.  There appear to be ten volumes, which sounds about right.

I must reiterate Charles' advice about the reliability of the more, umm, 
interesting Teslaphiles.  Tread cautiously!
