Some observations I noticed about these 2 respective patents.

Firstly, they are electrically very, very similar. Major differences are of course Meyer uses modern transformers and inductors where as Tesla uses early types but that may not be important.
Secondly, Meyers Vic has 2 inductors in series where as Tesla places them in parallel to the workload.
Lastly Tesla uses it to drive a different load than Meyer but again that may not be important.
THE MOST IMPORTANT OBSERVATION:
Unlike some of Meyers schematics of this design you will notice there has been a ground placed between TX2 and TX5, Tesla uses the same ground on both the transformer and the inductor. Electrically, its exactly the same in a modern schematic per se:-

In some of Stan's patents he remarks how the VIC is 'isolated' from the rest of the schematic and I always wondered what he meant by this. Could it be that Stan is suggesting that we do what Tesla does in his schematic which is to use a rod hammered into the ground as a ground and not the ground used as the negative supply to the rest of his schematic and the PWM?
Tesla seems to think in these terms. Tesla's early version of a PWM which he marks as 'G' in his schematic is a simple rotary contact breaker which provides pulsed DC, he can also gate the pulse by time delaying the rotary contacts which he claims allows the current in the inductors to do work.
Very similar devices and both claiming to do the same thing. IS THE ISOLATED GROUND IMPORTANT?
