Tesla Notes 14: One Wire and No Wire (London, 1892)
London and Paris, 1892: a lamp lit through one wire and a hanging plate, Faraday's chair, Rayleigh's praise, a mother's death, and a sorrowful visit to Hertz.
Tesla's 1892 notebook: why a plate in the air can close a circuit, how to keep a terminal from brushing, and the storm that set his course for life.
