Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing. Its abundantly clear that there was no OSHA when some of those photos were taken. I'm not going to say thats a good or bad thing. I have my own thoughts on them, and am sure others do.
I read an article somewhere that said that there is still a 4 square block of NYC that is DC powered. Thomas Edison was a DC freak and did not like AC. He campained against AC in favor of DC.

So, as the story went or goes, there is a 4 square block of NYC that is DC powered as monument to Edison, and the DC lightbulbs, TVs, washing machines, and all else DC can be purchased by the folks living within those 4 square blocks from Edison the power guys, not Thomas Alva. True.
