Edison, Thomas. (1847–1931)

Autograph Note

Autograph note in pencil to Charles W. Luhr, who was the Vice President and Works Manager for the Edison Phonograph Works in Orange, New Jersey. Signed ("Edison"), one page, lightly-lined, 8vo., no date, but ca. 1912. "Luhr, Quit on machine for cutting off the fine wire - we have a better process."


Edison was the greatest inventor of the electrical age. His hundreds of inventions made him a giant public figure in America and around the world at the turn of the 20th century. Inventor of the first practical long-lasting light bulb and of the phonograph, it is not hyperbole to say that modern life would probably be very different without him! (11243)
