Waa maxay sababta uu Westinghouse u sheegay Tesla in uu la macaamili doono bangiyada? Marka la eego su'aasha hore, ku qor macnaha guud ee jawaabta. Waxay noqon kartaa 1 ilaa 20 jumladood. Macnaha guud:
Bartamihii 1890-kii shirkadda General Electric, oo ay taageerto maal-galiyaha J. P. Morgan, waxay ku lug lahayd isku dayga la wareegista iyo dagaallada shatiyeynta ee Westinghouse Electric. Inkastoo heshiis patent-sharing ah la kala saxiixday labada shirkadood 1896 Westinghouse weli lacag la'aan ayuu ka ahaa dagaalka dhaqaale. Si loo helo deyn dheeraad ah, Westinghouse waxaa lagu qasbay inuu dib u eego shatiga AC ee Tesla, kaas oo bangiyayaashu u arkeen inuu yahay culays maaliyadeed shirkadda (waqtigaas Westinghouse waxay bixisay qiyaastii $ 200,000 rukhsad iyo rukhsad si Tesla, Brown, iyo Peck). Sanadkii 1897, Westinghouse wuxuu sharaxay dhibaatooyinkiisa dhaqaale ee Tesla si adag, isagoo u sheegay in haddii ay wax waliba u sii socdaan sida ay ahaayeen uusan mar dambe xakamayn doonin Westinghouse Electric iyo Tesla waa inuu "la macaamilo baananka" si uu isugu dayo inuu uruuriyo xuquuqda mustaqbalka. Westinghouse wuxuu ku qanciyay Tesla inuu ka sii daayo shirkaddiisa heshiiska shatiyeynta ee ku saabsan shatiyada Tesla ee AC si loogu beddelo Westinghouse Electric oo iibsanaysa shatiyada lacag hal mar ah oo ah $ 216,000; tani waxay siisay Westinghouse nasasho ka timid waxa, sababo la xiriira kororka degdegga ah ee caanka ah ee caanka ah, waxay isu rogtay inay tahay $ 2.50 oo aad u deeqsi ah halkii AC horsepower.
