After reading the "long" precis'd biography I'm left wondering how
Steinmetz and Tesla's AC accomplishments dovetail together. It is
clear that Steinmetz had the greater theoretical grasp of the two, at
least in the quantifiable mathematical sense. Interestingly, Tesla
didn't get a mention in the brief but seemingly all-encompassing
biography. It would be interesting to see Steinmetz' patents
published in book form like Tesla's. A real eye-opener. Thanks for
posting those links.
