Wasn't it Westinghouse who was the proponent of the DC power
distribution system, and Tesla the proponent of AC distribution?

Nah, Edison was DC. Westinghouse bought rights to Tesla's patents and
employed him.

I recall soon after Tesla arrived, he was digging ditches for Edison; I
don't remember if he did anything technical. I know he didn't like Tom and
his big interest in DC. g
