Title
[D8822AAI], Letter from Arthur Appleton to Thomas Alva Edison, April 3rd, 1888
Editor's Notes
"I hope you will pardon me for writing you, but I would like to settle a question I can settle no other way. I took one of your 16 cp lamps] in which the filament had been broken but in such a manner that a slight shake would make the connection for a second and then it would strung back borken again. ### Now I set in this circuit as formed a small Rumkorff coil, a circuit breaker, " etc. Inquires about sparks faintly visible; can't understand why. TAE marg: "The lamp was statically charged like a leyden jar"
