    Description

    Allegedly Hitler said to his favorite commando - Otto ''Scarface" Skorzeny - do not worry about Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill, go ahead and kill the greatest threat - Tesla.
    Signed by the guy who, in addition, improved Tesla's invention
    himself
    in 1890s. This is all original, authentic and genuine document from the period as seen and presented herewith. Could be nicely framed and cherished in the office [as a decor] by the person who respects both Yale University and inventor Nikola Tesla.
    Also a proof that Yale University was an event leader paying attention to Nikola Tesla during his lifetime.
    This is also the official Yale document sent to the Royal Yugoslav Legation in Washington D.C. in 1931 and signed by Tesla's personal assistant, American engineer Charles F. Scott of Dunham Laboratory of Electrical Engineering, Yale University, Sheffield Scientific School, New Haven, Connecticut. Fingers crossed, knowing the sweeping crisis, Yale will muster enough money to buy this significant piece.
    Good for Tesliana, Yale memorabilia fans. Would cost less if it was a less important person [than Chas F Scott] or school [Yale Univ.]

    Charles Felton Scott (September 19, 1864 in Athens, Ohio – December 17, 1944) was an electrical engineer, professor at Yale University and known for the Scott connection.
    A Scott-T transformer (also called a Scott connection) is a type of circuit used to produce two-phase electric power ( 2 φ, 90 degree phase rotation) from a three-phase ( 3 φ, 120 degree phase rotation) source, or vice versa. The Scott connection evenly distributes a balanced load between the phases of the source. The Scott three-phase transformer was invented by a Westinghouse engineer Charles F. Scott in the late 1890s to bypass Thomas Edison's more expensive rotary converter and thereby permit two-phase generator plants to drive three-phase motors. At the time of the invention, two-phase motor loads also existed and the Scott connection allowed connecting them to newer three-phase supplies with the currents equal on the three phases. This was valuable for getting equal voltage drop and thus feasible regulation of the voltage from the electric generator (the phases cannot be varied separately in a three-phase machine). Nikola Tesla's original polyphase power system was based on simple-to-build two-phase four-wire components. However, as transmission distances increased, the more transmission-line efficient three-phase system became more common. (Three phase power can be transmitted with only three wires, where the two-phase power systems required four wires, two per phase.) Both 2 φ and 3 φ components coexisted for a number of years and the Scott-T transformer connection allowed them to be interconnected.
    He graduated from Ohio State University in 1885 and went on to graduate study at Johns Hopkins University. Scott joined the engineering staff of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company in Pittsburgh, PA, in 1888. He assisted the inventor Nikola Tesla with his work on the alternating-current induction motor. Scott also carried out experimental high voltage transmission line work at Telluride, Colorado with Ralph D. Mershon.
    He was president of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE later IEEE). He received the 1929 AIEE Edison Medal.
