Tesla on George Westinghouse
``George Westinghouse was, in my opinion, the only man on this globe
who could take my alternating-current system under the circumstances
then existing and win the battle against prejudice
and money power. He was a pioneer of imposing stature, one of the
world's true nobleman of whom America may well be proud and to whom
humanity owes an immense debt of gratitude.''
