Afterword: The Barn
Afterword: The Barn
This chapter relates the story of the discovery of Frank Sprague's artifacts in a large barn in Branford, Connecticut. One of the most important items found in the barn was Sprague's first stationary electric motor built in 1884. This motor was used to power looms and presses, which had been previously driven by hand, water or steam. It was restored by the Branford Museum and became a centerpiece of its permanent exhibit in the Sprague Building in 1999.
