Anomalies
In the book Tesla: Man Out of Time, there are references to missing patents. Some patents of his
experiments are lost to history, as well as some of the scientific notes and records pertaining to
Tesla's patents. These, though, are alluded to in the redacted FBI files. The missing patents may be
among effects seized by government agents and military intelligence officers following Tesla's
death in 1943. In various patent logs, it is recorded Tesla received U.S. Patent 613,819 for "Filings
Tube" (such as Charles Henry Sewall's "Wireless Telegraphy" (New York, 1904)). This number
does not match the U. S. Patent office records (that patent is issued to G. Kelly for an "Illuminating
torch").
