Destruction of free energy on the continents. USA

Hello, friends. With a small margin, we continue to look at the geographical features of the recent globalization of the world economy. Today we are talking about the United States. Nobody needs to represent this country, it never leaves the news pages. Currently, this country rightfully occupies a leading position in all industries, although many call it a decrepit predator, like Spain in the 18th century. But it will not be about politics, but more about the history of this country. More precisely, technical history.

By the way, in terms of history, this country has no less white spots, like the Russian Empire. Many events in this country, especially from the 19th century, are distorted exactly the opposite, and quite a lot has already been written about this. Well, okay, let's see what happened to the technical history.

Well, as an aperitif, let's take a look at one interesting photo.

This is a portrait of the same Benjamin Franklin at his desk. What is this weird thing hanging to the right of his desk? Probably the other end of the lightning rod is some kind of spare inkwell. Humor humor, but another photo caught my eye, in which the hero of Trieste, James Joyce.

It turned out that there were a lot of such gizmos before and they were not inkpots at all. And there are practically no assumptions about the purpose of such gizmos (readers who know something about these gizmos not by assumption, please respond). But let's move on. Eh, America … how long have we been taught to love your forbidden fruits.

This is the usual summer stable of a certain Oliver G. P. from Belmont, and in 1864. Moreover, if I am not mistaken, there is a picture hanging on the left wall. Can you imagine something like that at that time with us? But this is not about that, but about the lanterns that illuminate this stable. Gas in the presence of sources of strong ignition is most likely excluded here. It seems that industrial generators of electric current are still a long way off. How did these lanterns burn? It is hard to say.

And this is a photo of a social shelter (!?) In Charleston. Obviously, the lanterns were once the same, but the shelter is a shelter, and the left casing was apparently brushed off. And what actually burned there? On the pedestals there are griffins, as if from the Crimea, and on them are ordinary lanterns with a luminous element. And that's all. But again everything falls into place if you look closely at the cylinder between the lantern and the griffin. This is the very object that causes the glow. The version with kerosene or gas is a little untenable here, because too high and the lantern itself, judging by the appearance on the right, did not provide openings for the exit of combustion products.

This is also Charleston from South Carolina. The same lights. How did they burn? Alas, now it is impossible to understand. Let's go further.

This is the city of Ulm. It can be seen that wireless poles are already becoming obsolete and are slowly being replaced by wired ones.

The same thing on the streets of the Oil City (stereo photo). Progress is in full swing.

And this is the main street in Atlanta, Georgia. Probably the only photo where the top of the pillar was found in close-up. The same pillar is on the back of the roof. Actually, there is nothing special about them. An ordinary metal pipe, and on it is a spherical container filled with a certain substance. And this design was widespread throughout the world.

The famous old congress hall building on Broadway in New York in the late 19th century. The roof contains elements that are not there at all now.

And this is the Hotel Cadillac and Washington Boulevard, in Detroit (Michigan) from 1886. The same posts are found on every roof superstructure. And what is the tower to the left of the hotel (in 1886)? Stop. We are looking for something similar (fortunately, the US Library of Congress has the largest fund in the world).

This is also Detroit around the same time. Those times … Was there really a cellular connection at the end of the 19th century? If these are lighting lanterns, then their power should be such that in general there could not be any way in lanterns at that time. It doesn't look like an advertising sign either. What is this? Again, everything falls into place, if you look closely and see in this design…. a fancy pole without wires, as tall as in Brazil. And what? There were rich people in the country who could afford such things, and the buildings there were tall at that time, and they had to be serviced by a central direct current signal source (do not rush to laugh, look at the inscription to the next photo, I quote in the original).

Washington, D. C. Central Signal Station, Winder Building, 17th and E Streets NW, and Signal Corps men, 1865

The further into the forest, the fewer pay phones. What is this in the photo and why did the retoucher smear the antenna again? If it was a telegraph, then why D. C. (direct current) and the year - 1865, when was it still far from the telegraph? For example, with the year the US Congress could still lie (he is no stranger to it), but with the rest, how? Or maybe this is the very station on the roofs from which those wireless poles originated and quietly distributed a central direct current signal to the houses? This is how Congress burst out)) but the truth is, further search for photos of similar stations gave only this:

Probably, this was the very teleraph that existed in the time of Pushkin and which is now the greatest mystery. But enough riddles, let's move on.

This is the typical interior of a typical villa in Belmont, Virginia, in the late 19th century. A very cool fireplace, especially a piece of iron in its firebox. Judging by the shadow, it is another 15 cm from the back wall. Why? In this case, she steals the space of the firebox. But again, everything becomes clear if we imagine that this fireplace was not at all for firewood. And oddly enough, there were a lot of such fireplaces in the USA.

The latter is especially impressive. To be honest, I have never seen anyone like this before.

And this is the simple residence of Belmont in Newport, 1891. Agree, it looks more like a Renaissance castle. Or maybe the Renaissance is the 19th century smeared on the world scale of history? I am more and more inclined to this.

And this is the Queensboro Bridge, Roosevelt Island, New York in 1895. Now compare with the bridges of the Southwest Railway. from here. Willie Tokarev's work Zhmerynka - New York comes to mind again. How everything was the same in that world …

This is the interior of the Third All-Columbian Industrial Exhibition in Chicago, 1899. Actually, it's not worth highlighting anything, everything is fully consistent with what was here. The same churches in the background.

And this is Grand Court, Night Illumination. Trans-Mississippi Exposition. Just a minute, 1898. And nowhere are there any posts with wires (it is not possible to lay underground cables there because of the stone structures).

This is our globalization.

P. S. I recommend everyone interested in this topic to visit the electronic library of the US Congress. A very rich fund.
