This issue of Electrical Experimenter is from October 1919. It includes the final installment (on “teleautomatics”) of the six-part series written by Nikola Tesla exclusively for the magazine, as well as another article in which he discusses whether the explosion and crash of a blimp in Chicago might have been caused by radio waves. Another article covers a 1919 prototype hybrid electric-gasoline auto complete with regenerative braking to recharge the battery while driving.
