What Edison did that earned him the "father" title was to put together an NTIRE electric lighting system. This included the lamps, generators, metering, conductors, protection agains shorts, and probably many other things.

That movie gets pretty good ratings.
Insistent top posting Usenet retards like you should test out an electric chair... as the executionee.
snipped retarded horseshit from the group horseshit retards.
Annoying as top posting is to some, doubt that that problem will make anybody's list of the top hundred problems facing the world.

The Discovery channel was Wardenclyffe, on Long Island. It included the building (laboratory and transmitter equipment) and a massive antenna structure for wireless transmission of power and information. It was funded partly by JP Morgan (mentioned in a previous post). It was never completed.
The Colorado Springs lab was an enormous Tesla coil for experimenting with wireless transmission of power. There is an often reproduced photo of Tesla sitting in a chair reading, just inside the primary of the Tesla coil, with high voltage streamers everywhere. Unfortunately it is a double exposure.
You don't get it. The Westinghouse name is just another old US brand name that was sold to the highest bidder in the far east.
The Discovery Channel piece was AT the COLORADO "transmitter tower" location, goddamned it. They were, in fact, all over the place, but the portion of the show that was about the Colorado location was... ABOUT THE COLORADO LOCATION.
So, any "there's a house there now" claim you have about him is about a DIFFERENT facility, because the one where is lab was is STILL there.
You are not the only one that ever followed a person's life, idiot.
You can just feel the love in this group. Can't you?
Another of his contributions was that he 'invented' the research lab. He would set about to find a solution to a problem, then systematically find do just that.
Menlo Park's sole purpose was to do research in finding new inventions.

In 1963 I worked at 42 West 39th Street, which is between 5th and 6th Avenues.
I cut through a building to go from either 40th street to 39th, or
39th to 38th, I forget which. There was a plaque to Tesla in the building.Evidentially
They are referring to his lab on Long Is, NY. Its still there in bricks and mortar. There is a 2009 photo on
Glenn.
Essential reading on the battle between Edison DC and Westinghouse AC systems, and a new method of execution: "Edison & the Electric Chair" by Mark Essig, Penguin Books, 2003. Review
I have no interest in where the Westinghouse name came from and my comment was not related to that nonsense.
It was a joke. Your self defence was not founded on anything in my comment.

Sorry, but the tall tower had stone, octal foundation and was in Colorado, and was the one I refer to and the Discovery Channel referred to.
I saw the program. The "actual lab portion" in your first post is the Wardenclyffe lab, at the left on the picture of Wardenclyffe I furnished. It is still standing. There is nothing remaining in Colorado Springs - no "actual lab portion".
The octal base is the base of the Wardenclyffe tower, which can be seen at the right in the picture I furnished.
But FigureItOut is a sock puppet of alwayswrong, and reality doesn't matter. Just goes to show - alwayswrong is always wrong.
Holy shit man. Take your medication.

Which one? The diabetes medicine or the high blood pressure medicine?
I still cannot believe that you even respond to the inconsiderate, top posting, Usenet abusing bastard.
The ones you really need. Not the ones the pharma giants con your doctor to give you, but that's another story...LOL
