Tesla misidentified

edit

The figure in between Steinmetz and Einstein is not Nikola Tesla, it is John Renshaw Carson. Tesla was much older looking at the time of the photograph (1921) - see this photo of Tesla from 1920: http://qdsqjg.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pHW1aNAnCpQ84H3L05PRK9Buhu9hdpoP1AAWkpQaLLw0obWEUC25SYd7mEVIsKwt3NrPbhVj1jKL_OuhqlWMJFg/Tesla%20in%201920.jpgPearlSt82 (talk) 14:42, 6 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Also Einstein was 5 foot 9 inches and Tesla was 6 foot 2 inches, not nearly the same height as depicted in this photo. I have put Tesla in a footnote and re-edited with sources. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 19:02, 8 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
