Tyson Is Guest
Speaker AT
Rotary Session

T. j. Tyson, plant engineer for
the ingalls, Shipbuilding Corpor-
alton, was guest speaker at the
weekly luncheon meeting of the
Pascagoula Rotary Club Wednes-
day noon at the USO.
Mr.. Tyson spoke on the life
of Nikola Tesla, whose inven-
tive genius was largely respon-
sible for modern advances in the
use of electricity.
Tesla, born in Yugoslavia,
came to the United States as a
young man and was first associ-
ated with Edison. He had at
that time invented the process
OF alternating electrical current,
vital step in electrical transmits
sion, and when Edison remained
unconvinced of the feasibility of
alternating current he broke
away and formed his own COM
pany.
He later sold out his patent
rights to Westinghouse for one
million dollars and a royalty of
S1.00 per horsepower for each
motor manufactured under his
patents. This clause was later
eliminated from his contract
when Westinghouse was in fl
nancial trouble in its early days
and in doing this, Mr.. Tyson said,
he literally gave away millions
of dollars.
Tesla was the father of 1000
inventions, of which 900 were
patented, Mr.. Tyson said, and
was known as the father of wire
less communication.
Roy Givens, president, presid-
ed and introduced a number of
