@Mean Old Lady. The putative rivalry between Edison and Tesla was largely a PR stunt aired after they both were working for General Electric. Tesla's brilliance, too, is exaggerated, another GE con. He did not, in fact, invent 3-phase power: that was Mikhail Dolivo-Dobrovolsky. Too bad if it is harder to say. I give my admiration to George Westinghouse and Charles Steinmetz.
