Quote:
Amazingly inaccurate. Tesla was a great inventor who did not use the patent process to protect his inventions, but the world did not conspire against him. Nor was Edison the satin described in this cartoon. Keep in mind it is called a cartoon because accuracy is not paramount in the writing process.
And yet Edison's patent disputes forced Maxim to the depart the US (maybe not forced, it's long been held that Edison paid Maxim to emmigrate abroad) handing Maxim's invention of the machine gun to Germany at the outset of WWI. You can choose your own ending to this...
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
