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!
