HASTINGS, Scety & Trenn, N Y, k WM, VAIL, Gent Supt. ew Tork, Seas De cembe rZ cement B88, 25 coe Be Seine LES Thomas A. Edison Esq., Orange, Neds ’ : Dear Sir:- > ; When shali you be prepared to offer for sale the primary battery which has been developed to run the Phonograph motor ? What yolts and amperes can it be relied upon to give in the oper- ation of such u motor as would be necessary to run a sewing; machine, that is to say;on a cireuit where it is called upon for an inter~ mittent action? What-is to be the price per cell and what the expense of recharging ? Do you expect to produce zine amalgamated throughout for this battery ? I think you will understand the intent of these queries. Tt appears certain that there is a great future for a primary battery i which will run a sewing machine motor economically, in cases where i. it is impossible to get current from a station. We have in this office a model of Philip Diehi's motor, adapted to a 100 volt circuit. When running at full speed with the ordinary load put upon it by a sowing machine Like the Singer, it requires about 8/10 of an ampere, and to provide this amount of ' energy from a primary battery would seem to be 2 somewhat Scrious i matter.

Edison Esq., Orange, N.d., Dear Sir: In reply to yours of December llth as to phonopraphic battery, if this is not far enough advanced to quote price, is it possible for you to give me the other information requested, so that I can judge of the outputs In many cases the cost of the battery is immaterial, provided the care and maintenance is not prohibitory, and sobs particular case I cannot take a step towards the con~ struction of a motor, until something definite can be stated as to the number of cells and consequently the electro-motwwe Loree for which the motor should be wound, Yours Truly, i Director. eee ions ci BAP Eh nes yids Oth Sicha er ane a : ae oe, ti Sata . age " ud ital 4 - Perfect Battery. € -—-D) .

In first cost and maintainance it is the cheapest battery ever offered, It is the cleanest, most efficient, durable and uniform in its action and requires less care, No acids are used-and it has no fume or odor, It will not freeze, It is -simple: and easily understood, - ‘cannot get out of order, every : part is in plain sight. It - has-no porous cup “or “prising. The efficiency is due to the solution ‘alone—not to any compound or complicated riegative. The negative. clement is simply carbon plates which are not consumed ‘or in- jured by use, and will” last - indefinitely, Nothing but zine ‘and solution are consumed by usc, It is the first and only. battery’ witha soluable, depolarizer’ or anti- polarizer in the solution, which has no action on the zine when the cirewit - is open, It is absolutely free from M “local” or waste action. ILis more constant than any other open circuit battery, slower to polarize and quicker to recuperate.

The efficiency and desirable qualities of the battery are due mainly to this compound. It is pre- pared only by the inventor and patentee, and. furnished in packages, each sufficient fér one cell. It is never sold in bulk, Five and one-fourth ounces are sufficient to consttme two ounces of zinc, which is the weight of that part of an ordinary § inch zinc rod, below the surface of the solution. By thus proportioning the excitant: to the zine, one is exhausted when the other is consumed, hence no waste of materials. - Every package bears my-Trade Mark and Signature, : : a 3 “hy.

Cazenovia SEMINARY, March 26th, 1887, We have used Mr Fitch’s “Chlorine Battery” at the Seminary for nearly six years and are sere than pleased with it. An admirable battery from the first, it actually improves with age. It causes no trouble to keep it in working order and is always ready for use. I therefore cheerfully recommend it to all persons who aie in need ofa first-class battery fora physical or chemical Iabra- » tory. Thave enjoyed a loug personal acquaintance with Mr, Fitch, and have always found him a thoroughly conscicn- tious and reliable business man, able to do all that he ad- vertises, NICHOLAS KNIGHT, A.

Frrcu—t have examined and tested your bat. teries which you sent to Dr, Crow of our city, and can say I consider them the best I have yet seen, I have been testing three of your cells on an ‘electric clock for the past six months and find they work just as strong now as the first day they were set up, 3 L.

Caztnovia, N, Y., March 22d, 1887, D. H. Frreti—I have had two cells of Chlorine Bat- tery in use in my office nearly six years, They have not required care an average of once a year; have not cost me one hour of time or half 2 dollar of expense, and are now as bright, clean and efficient as when new, 1 have used nearly all other kinds, and if I could not get more like these, would not part with them for many times the amount of their cost. J. F. PHELPS, D. D. S. For PPLedical Service, This Battery is widely known, During the past thice wears large numbers have been furnished to leading physicians throughout the country. CARROLLTON, I1., March 18th, 1887. D,.H. Frren—After two years’ use of the “Chlorine Battery" Tam happy to say that my opinion is unchanged, It is the cheapest, cleanest and most efficient I have ever seen. No corroding of the cells or connections. I do not want to be without it. J. T. CROW, M. D. -B- ¥ Lowen., MAss., March 2qth, 1887, T have had thirty of Fitch’s “Chlorine” cells in almost daily use for nearly two years, The expense for chemi- cals to charge them at first was not over seven cents per cell, and the total expense not over $1.25 per year, in- cluding the wearing out of the zincs. I have used one of the same kind of cell to replace the Smee clement in a Kidder machine, greatly increasing the convenience and effectiveness of the latter, as there is no polorization and no pouring of acid into a bottle. From my experience I would estimate that two cents’ worth of exciting fluid would run the machine fifteen minutes a day for three months, W. B, JACKSON, M. DL. DH. Frren : Dear Sin—Over a year ago, as_you will remember, 1 bought of you one of your “Chlorine Batteries" of twenty-five cells, This I placed in the cellar and .con- nected with my office table for use there. It has been in almost daily use since without ever having to do the firat thing with it, not even refilling, and now, after a year’s service, I cannot see but that it runs just as well as it did the first day I used it, and the battery is just as clean as when put in, not the least particle corroding, ‘This is a better record than any other battery can furnish with which T am acquainted. { can only say I am more than pleased with it, as every man must be who knows any- thing about electricity and has occasion to wse a Dattery for medicinal purposes.

REMOVE any dust that may be on or in the jar and empty one package of excitant into it; fill the jar with water nearly to thé shoulder, and stir with a teeoden rod until the excitant is nearly or entirely dissolved, put on the cover, put in the carbon, insert the zinc, put the brass binding clamp through the hole in the carbon, as shown in the engraving, and the cell will be ready for use. The battery will not give its tull strength until all of the excitant is dissolved, and its efficiency will increase for several weeks, When more cells than one are used connect by copper wires the carbon of one cell with the zine of the next, and so on through the series, This will leave a free carbon at one end of the series and a free zinc at the other, to which the wires leading to the apparatus should be attached, See that all connections are bright and firm ; no battery can work with its full strength or with uni- formity through rusty or loose connections, The water used should be soft and as pure as can be- cbtained. In filling the cell be careful not to spill or spatter the excitant or solution on or in the Jar, above the surface of the solution, and in placing jt handle gently so as to keep the glass above the solution dry. A little care ‘in this way will avoid capillary surfaces and will be richly repaid in cleanliness, ; It is important that the “circuit” be left “open” when not in actual use, because material is consumed in pro- portion to the amount it is closed, ur the current which the battery generates, It does not consume or waste any « material while the circuit is open, EL. ST... Lal. Ca Lee, If the wires leading from the battery itre long, special care should be given to insulation, They should be on DRY supports and no strain put on them which will in. jure the covering, Any leak on these wires due to Inck Of insulation through dampness or other causes would be * a constant drain on the battery and would consume ma: terial much faster tian actual use. The excitant and zine are so proportioned that they will be consumed uniformly and exhausted at the same time, When exhausted by use, throw out the old solu- tion, ritis¢ the jar, carbon and cover, wry them and refill as at first with new exettant and zine and the battery will be as good as new. In case of accidental “short circuiting,” extreme cold or very hard service, some crystals of Spent residue may , form on the zine and carbon, If but few, they will not | materially effect the working of the cells; if many, the addition of one ounce of Muriatic acid to the liquid in cach cell will cause them to dissolve. More than one ounce of the Muriatic acid should never be put in the celf at one time and then only when there are crystals on the plates to require it. This quantity will not cause “local” & * action when there ard crystals to consume it, Crystals of spent residue will. gradually form in the bottom of the cell, in proportion to the amount the bat- tery is used, but they will dono harm and inay be al- lowed to remain there until the excitant is exhausted, and then thrown out with it.

We would not care so much about this if the goods required were regular standard apparatus which we know would work when thay left here, but, as appears from: the blue prints sent us, the parts which you desire are not similar to anything that has been made before, and therefore, there is a possibility that defects may crop up in the apparatus; not only this, but if part be made one place and the balance in another, this pos sibility becomes a@ probability. -We do not care to have aig question arise about our work after it leaves here. If we make the whole apparatus, we will know that it ieeil right before it leaves our satetaiemens or it will not be sent out, but we shall have no means of knowing this unless we make it all. We must therefore stand on our rights, given us by the Edison Electric Light Co. in our contract with them, above mentioned, and respectfully decline to estimate onthe parts of apparatus for which you have sent us blue prints. ott Ve ny Re spe otful Ly Fours yo.

In the Electrical World ( New York ) of Jan. 1, 1887, is printed an extended article on "The Fffect of Flectro Magnets in Tele- phone Cireuits," in which it is claimed that connecting the two coils of an ordinary electro magnet in multiple are the secondary induced ~~ current is "neutralized" in itself. In the same paper of Jan, 29, '% 1887, I attempted to show that the connecting in "multiple" has no acc aoe Cpa UAcees elute : £ we practical effect only so far as it reduces the energy of the magnet Q and that a magnet wound with a wire double the size ( electrically ) ¢ and half the length would accomplish practically the same result and, 3 ina more simple and inexpensive manner. : a es , Ne Also in the "World" of May 21, I explained a further experiment tg tending to maintain my position. : 5 , ; | ot ‘Am aware that my views differ, not only with the writer of the 4 : first article referred to,- but also with such eminent. authority as, Xe W.

Dear Sir;- It is evident that no one could tell how an incan- descent Jamp has been exhausted.I have a new way , and so far only the Patent Office knows about it. I invented it a long time | ago, and official action of last August shows that the invention | is novel and patentable.If the invention were patented in my name , no one would suspect that you or any one else were using it. It is therefore , a secret process » and for this reason, especially I call your attention to it. The advantages are subdivision of labor among unskilled handsand simplest tools. I have tried it at an expense of only $3. and find that with my rude appliances and want of an electric current to improwe the vacuum, 1: obtained as good a vacuum as is found in the ordi- nary @ommercial lamp. I am not prepared to guarantee that it is better than the mercury pump as I have not exhausted enough lamps to compute the exact cost per lamp, but theoretically, it would be several times cheaper. Neither can I guarantee that th vacuum is better than in the ordinary lamp, because in my office I had not the facilities to compare. At Benjamin's, and at Richards and Co., we obtained a green flame a long time ago. I may be praising the invention too much in advance of ccrucial ‘tests, but the latter could be tried so easily at your labora~ tory, that I would like to call and describe it to you and give you several points , if you would probably desire to test it with a view to our mutyal, benefit. There is no doubt that the same idea has occurrea hat the application has been pending so long , and I have such old records, that the patent will belong to myself when granted, , and you may feel safe that it is eau i ! pable of protection. I think that you could so systematize the | steps and design the special tools, so that six boys and six : sirls could in eight hours, exhaust 5,000.0 what hour you could see me. Hoping to hear favorably, Yours respectfylly fh a a ; [horns Dictated, . ih { Little Menlo, ; : ly Upper Norwood, Febe 18th, 1888.

Theory alone, however good, and directions, how- ‘ever minute, will not do here, but it is practice that mast qualify one to cure well. When it is remembered that no two plants are uxactly alike, no two barns precisely similar in every particular, and the weather ma ‘change every hour, is it reasonable that a fixed programme can be fol- lowed, for every curing, with any cortain hope of success? The ex- perionced know better. On work go variable only general directions can e given, The planter here must use his head as well. Tho next step is called FIxiIna THE Coton. When the Tobacco is suificiently yellowed, the best leaves of a uniform yellow, and the greener ones of a light pea-green color, it is time to advance the heat to one hundred degrees, observing the leaves closely, to detect sweating, which will soon redden and spoil the color, unless driven off. To do this, open the door and let it stand open, and if, after an hour or more, the sweat has ‘not disappeared, open 2 space between the logs, on op- posite sides of the barn, to let in more air, nnd permit it to remain open until the Tobacco has dried off'all appearance of the sweat. Tp dry off the swent speedily, sprinkle dry straw or hay over tho floor, and set fire thereto, using just cnough straw to accomplish the desired results. Right at this-point moro soruga are spoiled than at any other stage of the process, It inay be well to remember, what is a fact, that at least too slow, Now, stick a pin here, But, to go back to the barn, where we have just dried the Leaf, this need not concern the curer, to put him out of hope, for a little cool- ing, under the circumstances, was necessary—we close up the opening, and raise the heat to one hundred degrees. But a skillful curer detects the first indications of sweat, and prevents it by regulating the heat. Keep the heat at one hundred degrees for four hours, and then ad- vance two and a half degrees every two hours, until one hundred and ten degrees are reachod. Here you have reached the most critical point in the difficult process of curing Bright Tobacco. The condition and appearance of the Tobacco must now be the curer’s guide. No one oan successfully cure Tobacco until he can distinguish the effects of too much or too little heat in the appearance of the leaf. ‘Too little heat, in fixing the color, operates to stain the /uce sido of the leaf a dull. brown color, and is called ‘‘sponging,’’ and may he known to the novice by its appearance only on the face side of the leaf. Too much heat reddens the loaf, first around the edge, and then in spots, which aro visible on doth sides. Now, to prevent “sponging,” on the one hand, and “‘spotting,”’ on the other, is the aim of the experienced curer, No definite time can be laid down to run from one hundred and ten to one hundred and twenty degrees. Sometimes four hours will suffice; then, again, eight hours is fast enough. While it is usual, at this stage, to advance ahout five degrees, every two hours, for medium Tobacco, the condition of the Tobacco often indicates, to the practiced aye, the necessity for slower or faster movement. But it is s-fo not to advance above one hundred and ten degrees, until the tails begin to curl at the ends. Arrived at one hundred and twenty or one hundred and twenty-five degrees, this is the curtna process. The heat should remain at or near these figures until the leaf is cured, which will require from aix.to cight hours, according to the amount of sap in the luaf to he expelled. When the leaf appears to be cnred, advance five degrees every hour, up to one hundred and seventy dogrees, and remain until stalk and stem are thoroughly cured, -To run aboye one hundred and eighty degrees is to ondanger scorching the Tobacco, and perhaps burning both barn and Tobacco. To recapitulate: - First, Yellowing process, 90 degrees, from 24 to 30 hours. Second. Fixing color, 100 degrees for 4 hours; 100 to 110, 214 de: grees every two hours; 110 to 120 degrees, from 4 to 8 hours. Third, Curing the leaf, 120 or 125 degrees, from 6 to 8 hours. Fourth, Curing stalk and stem, 125 to 170 dogrees, 5 degrees an hour, and continue at 170 degrees until stalk and atem are thoroughly killed and dry, which usually requires from twelve to fifteen hours. THE NEW- METHOD. . The eurig process for Yellow Tobacco, as heretofore laid down, _ wae first published in the year 1871, and waa the first systematia| ” treatise givon to the public on the difficult art of curing Yellow To-| bacco, and it has remained substantially unaltered through six editions of the pamphlet, aggregating largely aver 100,000 copier, . Thonsands, | as ar, “Blue iar in several States, have taken it for their guide, and been enabled to learn to cure successfully, withont any other assistance. But the Yellow Tobacco industry hing greatly progressed and extended during a the past decade, and new light has come, through experience, to: further perfect the art of curing. The following is given as the latest. improvements in caring Tobacco :- House the Tobacco as soon as cut, and, after warming up the barn for two or three hours, at temperature of about 90 degrees, advance the heat rapidly up to 125 degrees, or as high as it will bear without sealding the Tobacco, letting the heat remain at 125 degrees only a fow minutes, end then, by drawing the fires. and turning the dampers, cut off the heat, and let the temperature of the barn descend to 00 degrees, This is genoratly culled “‘sapping.”? ‘The rationale of the process is this: The heat, by expansion, opens the sup eclls and-starta the water to the surface, facilitates evaporation, und hastens the yellowing pro- coss, This ‘ iT of short duration, or olse grert injury will be done to the Tobacco, Following this made, the yellowing process’ is greatly shortened, requiring from four to eight hours less to fellow sulliciently, and also haatens the second stage of euring—fixing the color. It is woll to stute that there 1s so great x difference in the character of Tobacco grown in different localities, that no rale ean be given for the yellowing process npplicuble to all, The Tobaeco of middle and western North Carolina will yellow in much less time than that grown in middle Virginia. Then, again, Tobacco will bear higher tempera- ture, fn the yellowing process, during some yeara than in others. Notably the season of 1884 was s0 dry, und Tobnevo-held so little arp when ripe, that many commenced yellowing at 100 degrees, and had the leaf cured in fifty hours, Bnt this is exceptionul, and, for generat limbering up’’ process, of high hent at the start, must be \ practice, would spoil both color and Tobacco. ‘The sceuson, therefore, ° it must be borne in mind, greatly determines the amount of heat the Tobneco will require to be yellowed and cured, Some of the patented dues are so constructed that the heat is easily controlled, and the Tobneco smoked or steamed, or both, as may be necossary in the yellowing stage. Some Tobacco will require neither to yellow right, while some other will dry up green or red without yel- lowing, If smoke or steam be not used to assist the yellowing process, . Smoke and ateam will facilitate the yellowing of thin, poor Tobacco holding very little sap. Wetting the barn floor, from time to time, will assist in yellowing Tobncco. ‘Then there is an occasional barn of To- paste thet defies all the known motes and appliances to yellow or cure right, 20s But, for all practical purposes, whenever tho curer has mastered 1 knowledgo of the effects of too much or too little hoat, as ovidenced in the color of the Tobneeo, elearly described heretofore, he possesses tt! key tosolve the dificult problem in tho scionce of curing Tobacco, By close observation this lesson may soon be learned and then success {9 ensy, fou may run {t up in the roof of the barn and crowd it close, or If the arn ig needed for other curings, the Tobacco may be carried tathe———~ storage barn or bulked down in any dry house on the premises. But be sure that nothing is bulked with groon stalks or swelled atema, for if auch are placed down in bulk it witl be sure to heat and utterly ruin, VARIETIES FOR SPECIFIC TYPES OF TOBACCO, * We will premiso by stating that only an approximate guide ma be given for tho selection of varieties sulted to the soveral types, The variation in soil and climate in different localities greatly modify th selection. For, what is best in soma loculities is not best In others; and trial, at last, must determine what is best in evory case, When this fs found, it {s well to~ stick to it and plant mainly of this variety; and sparingly of others; until a better is found, if possible. We recommend for Dark, Heavy Shipping, A/edley Pryor and For Mahogany Wrappers, Zuckahoe, Sweet Oronoko and Gold Leaf. For Cutters, uso Granville Yellow, Gooch, Hester and Tuckahoe. For Fino Yellow Wrappers, use Granville Yeliow, Tuckahor, White Stem Oronoko, Yellow Pryor, Yellow Oronoke aud Hester, For Sweet Fillors, Stee Oroxoko and Flanagen. ‘ For Yollow Fillers and Cigarettes, Hyco, Granville Yellow and Silky Pryor —the latter makes Fine Wrappers on somo soils, ' ; f the planter finds, after trial, that any variety fnils to do well’on his soil, let him discard it, make 2 note of it, and select another The White Stem Oronoko,. Yellow Pryor and Mellow Oronoko aro varieties that rarely fail to. make Fine Wrappera wherever auch van be grown, . . : ., The Tuckahoe isn new candidate for favor, and deserves oxtenalve trial, ag it has proved, in Virginin, to produce the richest yellow goods of any other—na grado now much in domand. Its comparative freedom from apot and poveiiny is grently in its favor, having proved nearest of all to be drought proof. 4 The Sweet Oronoko, for Plug Fillers has never been excelled.. After curing, aa soon us the Tobueco is suillelently suft to move, The Hesterand Gooch succeed best in some localities for Brights or . Cutters, ; | Hyco is decidedly. the easiest of any to cure yellow; requires 4 moist, but not wet. gray soil; rarely succecds on red or thiraty soll. The Tuckahoe and /Yesfer posseas a wider adaptability’ to sofla and types than any others, : - [ENCLOSURE] : GEwERAIs DIRECTIONS FOR Wsinncs | THE ROANOKE FERTILIZERS... dj .

I fully Sdeasvosate: the expressions at the close of your let- ter end trust thet our comection with the East may long continue. I have sent your original letter td Mr. Lindsley in Japan, for his pavabal,: with the request that it be sent to Mr.Wetmore in Shang- hae I know they will be pleased to receive same. I must apologize for not making an earlier response to this letter, but pressure of business since its receipt must be my perae. In conversation with Mr. Insull yesterday, we both concluded that our Japan business was increasing satisfactorily, and the Ma- chine Works have received orders for a number of dynamos, armatures “2 etc, of late. We expect more to follow. PHONOGRAPH. I shall be pleased to learn from you when we may expect to have the new phonograph ready for ship't to Japan and China, when I will send you an order for same. I will require 10 instruments for each place and would be glad to have same as soon as convenient. You suggested having three instruments, extra finished, with a small nickle plate placed on the outside, ~ Present ed by Thomas A. Edison, Inventor, to H, E. Licnmie oneens H. M. the King of Korea and H. M. the Emperor of Japan. These you sug- gested my sending out and having Messrs. Lindsley and Wetmore pre- sent to the above named dignitarkes, with your compliments. I would suggest their being sent along with the others- that for H. E. Li to accompany the 10 to China and those for H. M. the King of Korea and H. M. The Emperor of Japan, with those for Japan. My son, Everett, who is making very satisfactory progress in his 2nd year's course at Stevens Institute, is very desirous of - availing of your very interesting weekly lectures to your workmen in your Laboratory.

Edison, Esq. \ x ) WW ces ON ne ot ( My dear Sir: Yesterday, the party a whom I have been dealing in the Wellsbach Gas Light Co., came to see me and we had a long talk concerning the burner which they expect we are soon to bring out, and from his conversation, I do not think the question of patents will have any effect upon this matter. They evidently feel that ‘they have a great thing, and I think their plan is to g@0 slow and gobble up everything in the way of incandescent gas burners, and wait until they get the whole thing in theix hands before doing much, as their stockholders are all monied men, and they can afford to wait. I could plainly see thet they are very much afraid of your burner, as they fully under stand that I will push the matter for. all it is worth, and I feel confident if we had a fairly good burx- ner that we could dispose of our right, title and interest in the invention as it may appear, without reference to patents or any fuarantees whatever. ! I hope you will give this matter your personal attention as soon as you consistently can, with the other large interests which I know you have on hand. They do not want us to &0 into the field and Organize a Co., ‘or Say anything in the papers about ovr burner. I an more satis-« fied than ever that they are making improvements, and that they intend to keep to work until they get theirs perfected; I under- stad tlat they have Just brought over from Europe, two of the best chemists they could get. It is also very evident from my friend's donveiedtibn with me,that they do not think you ca bring out 8 perfect manile, but they are satisfied that you can bring out something fairly 600d, and that you are just as liable to perfect it as they would be, and they dont wand us ag competitors, and this is the main reason why they would be willing to pay a pretty £00d price to get us out of the way and to take whatever we might have, whether perfeet or imper fect. I wrote my friond in London, to send me whatever he could get in the way of circulars, etc., on the Wellsbach Light Co., and I herewith enclose you what was sent to me by him. The other matter is progressing as rapidly as possible.

From small electrical beginningg, touching the use of the galvanic cur- rent in firing torpedoes, this course has gradually increased its scope until it now includes practically all of the applications of electricity to the purposes of the Naval Service. In the hope of making it as complete as the period: at our disposal permits, I am led to ask you to come to Newport at any time during the months of June and duly and talk to these officers for an hour or two on ithe Subject of the incandescent lamp. | The whole field being very wide, I am asking Professor Bell for a talk about telephones, Mr. Sprague for one about electric motors and Prof. flihn Thomson for one about dynamos or electric distribution. I trust sincerely that my effort to increase the value of the instruction here by enlisting the aid of the highest authorities on electrical sicence will meet with encouragement from you and your distinguished colleagnes mentioned above, If you think well of the scheme please come to Newport on any day of the term most convenient to you. I will of course pay your travelling expenses. Bring Mrs. Edison with you amd be my guests during your stay here, Although entirely immateriad to mey I think your vistt might prove most agreable if you came some Friday and remained here till Monday. Should you prefer to discuss this matter before giving a definite answer I will come to New York for the purpose, I am of course aware of your reluctance to appear as a lecturer, but I hope this reluctance may be overcome in this case. Should it however be insuperable T beg you will kindly nominate a person to speak in your stead.

I at once ‘telegraphed this to Mr. Insull, as Mrs ‘Iwadare is still in New York, going about from place to place, getting prices of engines, boilers, ‘aynanos, and all electrical Meuives: prepar- atory to going to ‘Japans Mr. Peck from my office has seen Mr. Iwadare a few days ago and he tells him that he has as good as arranged to take an engine from a firm in Rochester, only weaning further a boilere ENA GORA TT he has arranged for his dynamo, lamps and fixtures with some other condemn, probably ‘the Hees inenoues, as cabled ‘from Japan. . ‘This shows that the Japanese cannot be at all depended upon; that after getting schooling in your establishments they are ex- pected to turn out Edison disciples, but that, on the contrary, ' they are bound to make use of sll information they can get and take just such peed as will suit their own purpose bests I am still of a the ‘opinion that yon would do wont to allow no Jopenese to enter your employ. ‘Far better that ‘they should be referied to me, and * will put before then the great advantages of the Edison system from begiming ‘to ende In this I an quite sure we are in accord, as “shown by your late letter: “to mee Believe me, : e fs Yours very truly, Teper THOMAS A.ELISON, Fresident.

Hub-~ bell had no authority fran us to draw on you, and while we are on that subject, he is certainly injuring our business by borrowing money in all directions. He visited Catskill for the purpose of altitude, we believe, and states he has fair prospects of closing a central station, and then ht visited Saratoga for the same reason. I think he is rossessed of considerable talent if it could be used in the right direction, but he certainly rresumes on his ac- quaintence with Mr. Edison. I am quite sure he would make a very valuable a gent if he could be held in check, but I know of ae _ rein sufficimtly strong to hold him down to business. He atten tea to’ borrow money from Mr. Keimer and succeeded, ‘ also from Mr. Edison and Mr. Peovilnp: He tried to get sone hoi Mr. Willard md Mr. Johnson and also asked me to loan him $150. He got money from the hotel at Batskill and gave an order to the Catskill ‘ransportation Company on us. Now he attempts to get it from you, these we know of.

Sinee then we were for a time lav partners. He has kept up his Greek studies,but I have note He even writes and tallks both modern and ancient Greck. I put your question to him by letter,and here is his answer. What he.means by my "eritichsm on Motograph" is that I said it was a combination of a Latin woud and a Greek word,and perhaps objectionable for that reason. Lewis has studied up the subject more thoroughly ,ant will write you his conelusions by early mail. : Hopings you will find these suggestions of sane aid,and awaiting your further canmands, I remain, Sincerely yours, =e [ENCLOSURE] WEE ALP ie Bee VOY Pp eYLE? | uf Daniel HE Chamberl 40 42 Ml Lbsevt: Neue Yorke Kees Shs : ie A. eye S Aisne oes) sos, Quslegrash i grid; fad — py me tee Aeywile wore Ti Ye Good Wl Write. be Guftvreser a a Gietr- is.

He is a man of good sence and TIT am sure will not bore you with a long in- terview. I anticipate that his desire sera be able to say,that he has met you personally, and IT have no doubt that he will treasure any shought or suggestion which may be droped from your lips in the interview. I might add that he thoroughly enjoys a good story, and for a preacher he is an exceptionally good fellowes Have you got any good new thing grinding out from the laboratory mill, that will enable me to turn an honest penny on short notice, if not, pint me on the list of applicants for the first thing that developes.

When a brillant Lowell Institute audienco Inst Saturday ovening burat {nto constantly inorens- ing apptause, ag the consvontive phases of n high leap by arcelobrated hunting mare ware projected, tho size of Hite, on ascreen and tucidly explained by Mr. Muybridgo, somo present felt that at Inst tho way scoms opening for modern art to add something to alassic art, It ia now more than ten yoarsalnce Mr. Muybeldge first astonished the world with his—at that ttmo—marvellous sorios of the conseautive phascs of representative horsos, while trotting and galloplag. The anatomist, tho Physlologist and the blologist wore prompt to see that a new Hold aud a now light had bean oponod to their researches, and tho artist and art critto, after somo perfunctory resistance, not always fractoualy uttered, recognized the ond of an old and tho beginning of anaw cra. ‘Thole trat Pproju- dices conquered, they saw tho enormous asals ance rendered to them in thelr studios of im- pressions of animal movements, Ie almost invariably happens that the value of a now dlscovery in sclenco or & new doparturo fn art {8 most freoly admitted by tho foremost mon in tho profession affected, white the rank and filo are “kicking. It is not thorofore surprising that Melssonter was the first ainong artists to acknowledge the im menso beuelit the photographic analyais of animal lecomotion would bo to the art studeut, If he know how to ava!l himselfof ita use. Ho lectured tohls brother artists in Paris, with Mr. Muy- bridgo'a photographs, and prophesied thatthe conventlonal representation of horses, whether walking or galloping, was nearing ita end, and thatastudy of dotails, resulting as it docs in altered impressions, would effect a change oven in the opinion of the Intelligent observer as to the Proper oxpression of motion. “As for mo,” ha sald, “Iintend to rostudy a subject to which I have devoted go many years of my life with tho assistance of tho now powor." Noarly evory prominent artist in Parla was presont at this leo ture, and tho effet of the tnvostigation by Mr. Muybridge is clearly demonstrated in thelr recount works, Tho author of this new system of analysis was accorded a no less gratifying recoption tn London. Ina paper read by him before the Royal Sooloty ho first gave tho world, as ft has just been re stated in these lectures, 9 correct knowledge of tho sequence and Intervals of tho foot-fallings of a horse whon engaged fo bis various methods of lo- comotion. At tho invitatton of Sir Froderick Leighton, the president, ho leotured at tho Royal Acadeniy of Arts bofore the academicians and as- soclates, and similar leotures wero given at the Kenslugton art and sclonco schoots by invitation of tho Counoll of Education, at tho Royal Institue tlon, the Soalety of Arts, and many other similar Institutions, Upon his return to the United States the Uni- voralty of Pennsylvania, distinguished alike for its advanced ideas and for its ability to turn out soholars that bavo brought {t to the front rank of educational {natitutions, Impressed with tho xrowing importance of tho anbjoot, determined upon an oxhaustive investigation of the subject of an!mal locomotion. With this object, new appa- ratus was doviged for tho purposoof photographing tho consecutive phases of mution, not merely from one, but simultancously from two and from threo polnts of view, permitting an ocaam!nation of tho Yarlous phases of a latoral motion, synchronously with tho osviliation of the body; and tho noldten- tal mugoular action as scen from tho side, front and rear. Fivo yoars woro upromittingly devoted by Muybridge to this labor, which tnvolved an ox+ ponditure of no less than thirty-dvo thousantt dol+ lara. Tho results of this important investigation are soen in that remarkable aud elaborate work whioh {8 on exhivition at the Natural History Mu- soum in this city, and duplicates of which sovoral lovers of art in tho city are tho fortunate possessora of, In regard to tha necessity of studying the detalls of animal movemont in their consecutive phases, Mr, Muybrldgo tteolared In the conctuding lecture that the art of realizing a correct impreaston of what wo see fs entirely a matter of education Numerous instances aro related of some tribes of men (of which one camounter bis own observa- ton) boing utterly incapable of recognizing the most realistia of art represontations. In the trang notiona of the London Ethnotogical Society it is recorded by Olditold that, of a dozon Australiun aboriginals, not one could sce that a large colored engraving of ono of thelr tribe bore any resom- blanco to what it represented, Ono sald it was a Moture of aship; another of a kangaroo, and 80 on; but not ono of them auspactad tt was as per- fect a fno-sienile of one of hia own pouple na could be reproduced on papor, Has the modern artiat, tho lecturor asked, been in the habit of going to Nature for his indopendent impreastons of speed agacon tn the galloping horace? Or did tho pro- fesston in a congress of thomselves agreo to adopt acertain type which not a single observing man among them over fancled the combined sorics of phages impressed him as resembling? Tho artist, no less than tho orltio or the lover of are, will do woll to ponder over the advico of Melssonier to carefully study the dotails of movoment, and aftor mastering tho succession of phases, to zo to Nature and sce what a changed impression ho will have of her. Itis much to bo regrotted that thts course of lectures by Mr. Muybridge did not contomplate the uso of any of tho magniflcent sertes of illus. tration of tho human figure which his investiga- tion inoladed. In hls work on animal Jocomotion the various phases of motion by men, women and children number many thousands, and the actions of base-ball playing, rowing, wrestling, boxing, fencing, walking, running, jumping, dancing, 6to,, as woll ag of tho movements tncldental to tha work ot tho artiaan and the taboror, are domon- Btratod with an oxactness thatis as surprising as tho actiona are comprehonsive, For some of theso to have been projected the size of Hfo on the sorcen, with thotrauccesive phases of the actionof the muscles as starting froma conditiun of repose, thoy zo through tho varioua stages that culmi- nate in some action more or eas violent and again relapse Into a state of reat, au oxhibition could bo given which Raphael, Tintoretto, Michael Angelo and otter groat masters of tho Renais- sanco would havo travelled all over Europe to BOC, We cannot rofrain from oxprosaing tho up!nion that the thanks of all lovers of art, 10 less than oftho artiat and the solontist, are dua to the Untveralty of Pennsytvania for putting Into tholr hands the means of studying the facts of animal movemonts, and with a knowledge of these facta of realizing distinot and faithful {mpresstons of motions chat have hithorte been clouded with so Tiuch doubt and uncertatnty.

AN ELECTRO-PHOTOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF CONSECUTIVE PHASES OF ANIMAL MOVEMENTS, BY EADWEARD MUYBRIDGE. 1872—1885, . PUBLISHED UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, Exolusivoly by Subscription. 7 The investigation of which this elaborate work is the result was undertaken by the i University of Pennsylvania in response to the requests of a large number of the best- known Art Connoisseurs, Artists, and Scientists, and of many of the most celebrated institutions of Art, Science, and Learning in the United States. The work in its completeness comprises SEVEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-ONE PLATES, containing more than 20,000 figures of Men, Women, and Children, Animals, and Birds, all actively engaged in walking, galloping, flying, working, jumping, fighting, dancing, playing at base-ball, cricket, and other athletic games, or other actions incidental to every-day life, which illustrate motion or the play of muscles, Each plate illustrates the successive phases of a single action, photographed with i automatic electro-photographic apparatus consecutively from one point of view; or, con» { { { { secutively AND synchronously from two, or from three points of view, and is complete in itself—without reference to any other plate. Printed in permanent ink, by the Photo-Gravure Company, on heavy plate paper; size, 19x24 inches, Average area of printed surface, 108 square inches, Average | number of figures on each plate, 26, | The whole series constitutes 2 work which in magnitude, beauty of execution, and general interest is unsurpassed by any work ever issued in Europe or the United States, { Bound in eleven volumes, full Russia leather, or in cight full Russia portfolios, at the subscription price of Six Hunprep DoLLars, . 4 Subscriptions are also taken for a series of ONE HUNDRED PLATES, q ‘These plates may be selected by the subscriber from the catalogue; or, if the sub- scriber will indicate the number of plates required of each class of subjects, the author will make a selection which, in his judgment, are the best illustrations of those sub- jects, ° { The Ong Hunprep selected plates will perhaps meet the ordinary requirements : ' of the Art Connoisseur, and are sent in a full Russia leather portfolio, at a subscription mat price of One Huxprep Dotars, Specimen impressions of the entire series of the plates have been deposited in Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Washington, Chicago, and Cincinnati, where they are accessible to those subscribers who prefer to make a personal selection from the subjects i illustrated, . an With regard to the selection of the plates, however, it is found by experience that the subscriber will do well to give the author general instructions 3 to the class of subjects preferred, and to leave the specific selection for a representative serics to him. . Additional plates—beyond the 100 subscribed for—can be obtained by subscribers ia at the same proportionate rate as the subscription plates, ; ‘The following arc the numbers of plates published of each class of subjects, from: which the subscriber's selection can be made, : Plates Published, Men, draped. wee SR HNL 6 ee Sh candi ae ee he 6 “ pelvis cloth ..........,, Seeheee ene one 92 “ NUM S! 9. ais a ty cee yet aaa ce Lone. ate wee Oke see 133 Women, draped »...... 2.0. ee lll. se eee 60 “ transparent drapery and semimude. .........~, + & te MIO kee es ee ban ee tee eee. 180 Children,draped we...

Perhaps no more emphatic testimony of its interest and value to all Joyers of art— equally with the artist and scientist—can be offered than by subjoining the names of some of the subscribers, ‘These include a large number of the best-known and most eminent men and many of the most famous Institutions of Art, Science, and Learning in the United States, Upon receipt of subscription price the work will be forwarded free of express charges to any city of the United States; or it can be sent by express, collect on delivery, with express charges added, A prospectus of “ Animal Locomotion" and descriptive catalogue will, upon appli- cation, he mailed free of expense to any part of the world.

Dwyer Gray, one of the Home Rule leaders, and the owner of one of the principal papers, the “Freeman's Journal, * is chairman of a self-setting sype machine which he is anxious to have do the printing of this book from the phonograph. . He is the man, whom you will - remember, Who had the courage and ability to take issue with the Postmaster General in the House of Parliament, which resulted in compelling the Post- Master General to femove the resrictions on the telephone. He is a first- rate fellow, and while I of course see that giving his machine the eclat of printing the book will place him under obligations to us, I nevertheless see, as you will, that we will get sort of a quid’ guo quo.

To do this le it should be done, so that the inhabitants of this great, globe may have a just, conception of the magnificent monument your genius and efforts have produced, I think we should have photographs taken in the Power and Dynamo Rooms, Supply Rooms , Library, Lecture Room, Experimental Rooms generally and Chemical and other de partmentsand and one or two outside views. T would come out with our Mr. Me- Tighe, and with the intelligent aid of Mr; Kennelly think we could prepare an article to accompany the illustrations +hat would be highly creditable from a literary and electrical, or any other, stmadpoint. We could duplicate and send to "London Engineering" as before. , This would be, to carry it out as I nov conceive, a great undertaking, of intcvest and value to all Concerned, and we will gladly give our time to it and bear all expenses connected with it other than the bare cost of the cubs. They weuld foot up pro~ bably, if made first class in every respect and in the number that I think they should be, fran $150.00 to $250.00 Gan we not call and see you ab an early day and start this matter?

Dear Sir : = In reply to your favor of 16th instant, I would say . Mr. Lyon in his letter does not ask five hundred francs for threa subsequent years; he merely invites Mr. Edison to become an honorary member, But, in his circular No. 1, he asks from every member the above mentioned contributdon; therefore in my opinion he expects the same contribution from Mr, EBdison in case he should accept the Homorary Presidency. | This sum is not to be paid as a tax, but simply a5 8 én tribution to insure the success, The idea ig, that it would not be polite to request so great a man as Mr, Edison to pay the regular fee of membership like an ordinary individual, but, they arrange to accomplish the same thing by having him xe contribute as a free will offering the exact amount that ordinary individuals have to pay as a 2883 In short : to answer your question briefly : Mr. Edisen must send them a check ee five hundred francs to become one of the Honorary Presidents, pit icbaligy Soeamanibeaten’ c & Ar—F ay ; | a) [ATTACHMENT] perc e> WY.

Neor Sir: Your favor of 15th inst. in regard to the circular on Distribution of Lights is reeeived. I heve sent copies of this list to the forcign companies. It is quite singular thot we have no answeres from eny of our egents or others as yet. I had ex- pected to have heard from them before this, The mecting lest night was eo very suecessful one indeed; I think one of the best we heve hed. We had 26 present, and all of them seemed to think very highly of Mr. Howell's able end in- structive paper end diagrams. Iam sure everyone learned some- thing on the subject which most of us are unfortunately ignorant of. / The warm weather will soon be comings on, and, I suppose, ! it will be diffieult to get people hore after July ist. If we were to discontinue for the summor months this would give us three more meetings before July 1st. 4s the meetings of the Associa- tion have been very populer, and hove created a great deal of in- terest in the business, I think the whole thing would be helped alonys if we could get Lr. Edison to invite the Junior Ecison Asso« ciation ont to his laburatory some night, and heve Mr. Ratchelor and others give us e short talk on some of the interesting points of the system, and, perhaps, Mr. .Edison might himself sey o Low : words. This, I think, would cement wopether the friendly feel- ingsexisting emong meny of our people, and would help along vory considerably, and would be thought very well of by many of those who now cttend the Junior FRdison Association's meetings, If you think well of this idea, would you underteke to ask Mr. Edison if he will accede? : Yours very truly, | 4 NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY. toe Ce: Soe . : Members of the Socicty desiring to attend the exhibition of Mr. Edison's Phonograph, on Thursday, ¥une 7th, at8 P.M, will please apply for tickets to Mrs. Shrimpton at the New England Society rooms, as the number is limited to rg0.

Edison, T.A.- Employment - Outgoing Correspondence (D-88-15) This folder contains copies of outgoing correspondence to or about employees and prospective employees. Much of the correspondence was typed by Edison’s office staff, and the documents are similar to the material found in the Letterbook Series. Most of the letters cover the period January-October 1888 and are responses to inquiries about employment at the West Orange laboratory. The majority of the letters are by Edison’s private secretary, Alfred O. Tate. There is also correspondence by Charles Batchelor, superintendent of the laboratory, and by Charles H. Davids, superintendent of the laboratory’s mechanical department. Approximately 30 percent of the documents have been filmed. The following categories of documents have not been filmed: routine responses to requests for employment; duplicate copies of selected documents. = Sy Us Pa iS 2 . prot, via, Olavi, : Weisaity Golleye, TOvomtdo, GOT» . —- ea ES Deau In veverence to your Lotter of the Och whtes Toben to buy bind ia, Tdison da very mich pleased with voip vaca rine oEenony aticoiva in eonnestion desjon oF youns Steienlend. dart: ¥ f Re Ge east Whbh wide wev Raboribory uve not runt the inerease of our presen’ stort, bt we will teke bev errbe 2e of-tho Yirst opportunity which ocenre to ocive tis youn sort denen a triole Vhen :2, Péison is voody Towill-ordeesn o Lethar to you, tizieh ZT think will go forward in the emrse of a couple of mouths e Yours. truly, ; al - 1 : | ] , | : ‘ : \ ; | \ ‘ i { i | . : | { | ” 4 ! i i | re > t rare i ary if aa JO.
