Hamilton's 2nd industrial revolution Defined both Hamilton & Canada as an advanced society
History - The greatest development in Hamilton's History was about to unfold, but would it work? Only one person knew for sure. Tesla had patented the complete system in 1888.
Prior to Nikola Tesla, In Edison's DC electric micro systems, electricity traveled only a few miles. The Five Johns plans called for a transmission that was 35 miles (54 Km) long.
They consulted the great inventor, Nikola Tesla, who assured them that it was possible. John Patterson's dream would come true on August 25, 1898, when power arrived in Hamilton over the 2nd longest power transmission in the world.
