Name that famous sceintist thread this past July

Post by fred-carl »

I found this post via a google search. In my effort to save the Belmar Marconi Station (the sister station to the New Brunswick station) I came across this photo a number of years ago. John Carson is the person identified in the original photos. I purchased a copy of an original article published in Wireless Age to verify this. In a book on Tesla, that person is identified as Tesla in that photo. He sure looks like Tesla. I happened to get a chance to show the photo to a relative of Tesla. He said it was not his uncle, he stated his uncle would not have been in the back for any photo. John Carson was an AT&T employee so I contacted their archives. They sent me photos of John Carson. He is a dead ringer for Tesla. I believe that if Tesla was in the group he would have been given special mention in the article, given his status at the time. I posted the article on my website at http://www.infoage.org/einstein.htm Thank you.

Thanks for the post Fred. I had my doubts if it was Tesla. He was a sharp dresser and would have been at the front for sure. Its such an amazing photo i guess i just "wanted to believe"

It would be nice to see both the Wireless Age article (What date is that ?) and the photo's of John Carson so we could all see for ourselves.
