Electrical World (1891): Verified Tesla Coverage

Confirmed Tesla-related coverage in Electrical World issues from 1891, including the high-frequency lecture article.

Confirmed issue with Tesla article

We confirmed Tesla’s high‑frequency lecture article in Electrical World Vol. 18, Issue 2 (July 11, 1891). The article begins on printed page 19 in the issue scan.

Issues under review

• Vol. 17, Issue 8 (Feb 21, 1891) — index lists Tesla on page 128, but the scan shows printed page 130; pagination mismatch is under review.
• Vol. 18, Issue 1 (Jul 4, 1891) — OCR search did not surface the Tesla article; likely the index entry corresponds to Issue 2.

Why this matters

Electrical World was a central trade journal documenting Tesla’s lectures and public demonstrations. By tying index entries to exact issue scans, we prevent later over‑citation or misattribution.
