He received his college undergraduate education from the 359:. His generators were reliable and automatically increased voltage with greater load while keeping current constant. By 1881, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Montreal, Buffalo, San Francisco, Cleveland, and other cities had Brush arc light systems, producing public light well into the 20th century. 400:(now PG&E) purchased two generators from Charles Brush's company in 1879 and soon opened a second plant with four additional generators.
