Yes that is correct. George Jacobs in 1907 did perfected the enamel insulation for the magnet wire. There is a slight conflicting historical notations between Mr. Jacobs and AC Gilbert company. I'm thinking perhaps AC Gilbert may be the first to actually patent it in an actual motor and history gave AC Gilbert more historical visibility in the model train world?
Great video, Doug!
Keep them coming! 🚂
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
