Rediscovering William Stanley, Jr. Part 2

For pt.I see ibid., vol.9, p.9-12, 2003. William Stanley, Jr. pioneered in the development and use of AC for electric light and power applications. He contributed in a major way to a major invention: the transformer, the key to large-scale exploitation of AC electricity. He invented a novel inductor electric machine that, during the last decade of the 19th century, was popular for use in power-generation applications. Stanleyʹs technical expertise and opinions were sought on most long-distance electrical transmission systems built during the 1890s and into in the first decade of the 20th-century, including projects in Japan, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Spain, as well as the United States.
