I minimized the spot that I wanted to post your pics and it went to the bottom of the page. I went to your album on your profile. I right click the picture, a box with choices jumps up. I left click copy. I then go to the bottom of the page and left click where I minimized the thread, first pics of 31 speedster. I right click where I want the picture and a box of choices jumps up again. I left click on paste and the picture appears. I type in whatever I want to say and then left click on post quick reply and thats it. If you've got any more pics that you want posted I can do it if you have problems.

PS, I've tried two 'puters, a phone and a tablet I don't see your pictures. Maybe something with my sign in, anybody else?

I got the pics from gwielbaker, but not Purdy's. That has happened before, some pics don't come through on my computer from some guys, but do on others. Beats me.

I'm not sure, but if you are talking to me, I posted the pictures for 48ford nut off of his album. This is his stuff not mine. I don't have an album on my profile site. The pictures of my cars and parts are on another site.

Its like this, DC works but you would need a transformer on every street corner. AC is what we now use. Tesla invented it, Edison got the credit. It sort of reminds me of the advantage of 12 volt over 6 volt. Insert smiley face.

IIRC Tesla worked for Edison and wanted to pursue working on the AC and Edison wanted no part of AC. He fired Tesla and Westinghouse hired Tesla and this started the war between AC and DC.

No, I don't see the pics in your post, example below:

Hmm, that's odd. Could be a Firefox setting, blocking pictures posted via HTML? As in blocking external links? Can you take a look with another browser?

Here is what is there:

I've tried chrome, IE too, work and home 'puters too. Must be my account.

I've heard different stories about Tesla and Edison.The last that I heard was that Edison offered Tesla a large sum of money if he could devise what we now call alternating current. When Tesla invented AC, he asked Edison for the money that he had offered him. Edisons reply was didn't he know that he (Edison) was only joking, thats where the problems began.

Westinghouse hired Tesla and put alternating current in to use. Edison did public electricutions of mules and other animals to show the dangers of AC currant and called it Westinghouseing them.
