Elektromuseum

The Weyer Electrical Museum is an endeavor to accumulate apparatuses and literature that best reveal interesting facts and anecdotes about the development and usage of electricity. The majority of items were collected by John and Vera Mae Weyer with the help of their many friends across America.

Some of the information in this booklet contains material from pre-1900 publications. When accounts varied, the majority was favored. It is the Weyers' belief that few inventions were one persons' idea, but were the work of many people. It is our hope to preserve these arti-facts and Information for future generations.

One hundred years ago we could send a message by wireless nearly one mile. Compared to the six billion mile contact distance with the Pioneer space probe, one can certainly agree, "Yes, Dr. Franklin, the small boy has come of age."
