To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This practical illustration of the utility of the invention led to the adoption of the brake. Mr. Westinghouse, retaining the control of his invention, undertook to manufacture it, and organized the Westinghouse Air Brake Company, establishing at Pittsburgh the business which subsequently became the nucleus of the many industries associated with his name. He later applied compressed air to switch- ing and signaling, and utilized electricity in this connection. From this grew the Union Switch an...d Signal Company.
His introduction of electricity into switch and signal work led him far into electrical experiment, and he devoted his energies to a cause in which few then believed, the adoption of the alternating current for lighting and power. In this he had to meet and overcome almost fanatical opposition, which in many States sought legislation against the use of the alternating current as dangerous to the public welfare.
In 1885, he acquired the patents of Gaulard & Gibbs, and having undertaken a comprehensive study of the distribution and utilization of electrical currents in a large way, he personally devised apparatus and methods for the work, and gathered around him a group of men who were to become experts in the new electrical art.
