It still impresses me that Tesla's technology is being used as we are in a digital age and Mr. Tesla was analog all the way. David R. Smith is a Montauk guy? Those boys do get around. Thanks for the input.

"David R. Smith" is the backup soul-in-an-airtight-can that was
'on the shelf' at Montauk in case there were problems
with Al Bielek being brought forward in time.
David R. Smith is Al Bielek, and this 'new' invention is just recycled
Tesla-technology.
Happy to be of service ;)
