Cool stuff. Always like old power plant information.

Accidentally misleading—this is where Henry Ford worked for a salary while building his first vehicle in the shed behind his house. Not sure if that vehicle was a Model T, either.

Thank you for the link.

Personally, I’m a Tesla guy. Though, I admit Edison was a genius as well.

Tesla guy here as well, but having visited the lab long ago, it was a very interesting glimpse into the past. Can’t speak to current safety status of that area today though.

If I ever find myself in Serbia, I’ll visit the Tesla Museum and get some pics.

I meant the Edison Labs...though the Tesla Museum would be of great interest.
