ATDDTA(11) Total Recall [322:29-30]

[Keith]

[322:29-30] "Kit couldn't help recalling Colorado Springs and the  
Fourth of July Eve 1899."

See [97:12ff] "For years after, there were tales told in Colorado of  
the amazing, world-reversing night of Fourth of July Eve 1899. [...]  
Young Kit Traverse happened to be in on the high-voltage experiment  
that had caused it all, working as a matter of fact that summer in  
Colorado Springs, for Dr. Tesla himself."

[EXCERPT]

Colorado Springs
July 4, 1899

Observations made last night. They were such as not to be easily  
forgotten, for more than one reason. First of all a magnificent sight  
was afforded by the extraordinary display of lightning, no less than  
10—12 thousand discharges being witnessed inside of two hours The  
flushing was almost continuous and even later in the night when the  
storm had abated 15—20 discharges per minute were witnessed. Some of  
the discharges were of a wonderful brilliancy and showed often 10 or  
twice as many branches.

They also appeared frequently thicker on the bottom than on top. Can  
this be so? Perhaps it was only due to the fact that the portion  
close to the ground was nearer to the observer. The storm began to be  
perceptible at a distance as it grew dark and continuously increased.  
An instrument (rotating "coherer") was connected to ground and a  
plate above ground, as in my plan of telegraphy, and a condenser was  
used to magnify the effects transmitted through the ground.
