| Abstract |
A novelized biography of George Westinghouse, the great engineer, inventor and pioneer of the electrical industry. “Interested in scientific principles in terms of their practical use,” says Kirkus Review, “Westinghouse employed Nikola Tesla's ideas in his electrical plant [East Pittsburgh] and initiated the feud between direct and alternating current interests.”
