My Inventions is held twice: in the six issues of the Electrical Experimenter where it first appeared (February, March, April, May, June and October 1919), and in the Wikisource transcription. The 1891 lecture at Columbia College is held in its first printing, Transactions of the AIEE 8 (1891), and in Martin's collection of 1894. The 1892 London lecture is held in the Johnston book of 1892 and in Gutenberg's text of it. Martin's Inventions, Researches and Writings (1894) also carries the 1888 AIEE paper on the polyphase system and the 1893 lecture On Light and Other High Frequency Phenomena; it is held as a scan with OCR and as Gutenberg's text. “The Problem of Increasing Human Energy” is held in the Century issue of June 1900 and in the Wikisource transcription. Twelve United States patents are held as the printed specifications. They were chosen to follow the line of the work: the polyphase system of 1888 (381,968 the induction motor, 382,280 the transmission system, 382,282 the transformers); the high-frequency work of 1891 (454,622 the resonant transformer, 462,418 the disruptive-discharge circuit); telautomatics (613,809, 1898); wireless transmission and radio (645,576 and 649,621, 1900; 685,958, 1901; 787,412, 1905); the turbine (1,061,206, 1913); and the Wardenclyffe transmitter (1,119,732, 1914). US 382,845, named in the brief beside the coil, is a commutator for dynamo-electric machines (15 May 1888); the coil is 454,622. The other ninety-odd patents on the Archive are left on the shelf there, and the Colorado Springs notes (1899–1900, first printed 1978) are not seated: their first publication is too late for the public domain in the United States.",
