[TowerTalk] Westinghouse

[Larry Phipps]

Do they give Tesla credit for the invention of polyphase AC?

I wish I had known about the museum. We were in Pittsburgh last summer 
and went to the Carnegie Museum of Art, Falling Waters and the Phipps 
Conservancy. My last name is Phipps, so we stocked up on T-shirts and 
such there. I guess I'm from the poor branch of the family ;-)
