Edison and Steinmetz, Electrical Geniuses, Finally Meet, Nov. 2, 1922

Thomas A. Edison made a pilgrimage to Schenectady, N.Y. last week, the first in 25 years. He was met there by Dr. Chas. P. Steinmetz, the only man in the world his equal to electrical knowledge. Photo shows Edison examining parts of tree and porcelain insulators shattered by Steinmetz a few moments before with his newest invention—a lightning making machine. It is the first picture of the two great inventors together. It is to be preserved. Edison is now 75 years old and Steinmetz is 57.
