The Tesla Memorial Society of New York is grateful to the IEEE for this unique and rare document.

We are grateful to Joseph Kinney, Manager of Hotel New Yorker, who sent us this document. Joseph Kinney is an important man in the Tesla Movement around the world. He played an important role in the placement of the Tesla commemorative plaque on Hotel New Yorker on July 10, 2001. He also plans with Hotel New Yorker to establish a museum dedicated to Tesla inside the hotel.

Distinguished Serbian journalist Mrs. Marina Bulatovic arranged with Mr. Kinney that the Tesla statue, sculpted by renowned sculptor Boban Ilic, be placed in Hotel New Yorker. Mr. Kinney accepted this Tesla Bust in the name of the Hotel.

The Tesla Collection : 23 Volume Set, Newspaper and Magazine articles about Tesla (from 1887 - 1920) is the most comprehensive information about Tesla ever published.  Those are newspaper articles written by Tesla and/or about Tesla when he was alive.
