Rotor for Westinghouse Induction Motor, 1889-1895
- Short Circuited Rotor for Experimental Westinghouse Induction Motor, 1889-1893 - Nikola Tesla's name is inseparable from the development of alternating current electricity--particularly with regard to polyphase transmission, but especially with regard to the induction motor. His motor, patented in 1888, was the first practical AC motor. George Westinghouse licensed Tesla's motor patents that same year--enabling the Westinghouse AC lighting system to become a real competitor with direct current systems.

- Rotor from Fessenden Rotary Spark Gap, Used at the Naval Wireless Station NAA, Arlington, Virginia, 1913 - This device was part of a system used to amplify the time signal from U.S. Navy station NAA at Arlington, Virginia. Station NAA received a time signal from the Naval Observatory clock via telegraph wire, rebroadcasting it via a powerful transmitter to receivers all over the nation. Americans utilized radio technology to set their clocks to this standardized signal.
