    I found the picture of one of the original Tesla Generators, my guess is turn of the century...1900-01. Thought I had some pics of the data plate and placard but weren't there. This picture was taken in Kemptville, Ontario in 08', on the Rideau Canal which is a World Heritage Site now. Merrickville is not too far from Kemptville and went there as well on that trip. Quite an undertaking to keep the US from invading.

    This generator was in the back of a museum across the canal from town. I spotted the museum while walking the locks and watching them work for local traffic. Got some pics of tools and equipment used back in the mid 1800's and an interesting dog driven butter churn I think...CRStuff.

    Hemingway, the generator lit my candle and spent some time going over it's construction...in detail.
