Re: [APD] Lighting

["S. Hieber" <shieber at yahoo_com>]

It's very hard to find good material on Tesla despite his
having been involved in a number of key inventions,
including ones that others later patented  -- although he
had over 700 patents of his own.

Probably the best compendium of info is a relatively recent
biography, _Tesla: Man Out of Time_ by Margaret Cheney

see, for example:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D044039077X/lucidcafeA/103-6203489-9500610

It's not a great book but there really wasn't a lot written
down about his life while he lived or closely thereafter.

Here's a quick link to some basic info that seems generally
accurate:
