One of the most visited exhibits was one on electricity. Who would light the fair would soon light the world. Edison and Westinghouse both put in bids to light the fair. Tesla’s AC polyphase system would be on display for the whole world to see. Originally, Tesla planned on using GE bulbs but Edison, still miffed, would not sell to Tesla and Westinghouse. Instead, Westinghouse came up with a more efficient double-stopper light bulb. Help Nikola, he used some Vin Mariani, and only one hour left to turn the lights on!
