[LB028195], Letter from Alfred Ord Tate to Edison Machine Works, John Kruesi, February 12th, 1889

Editor's Notes

"Please send us 50 feet of flexible cord, finished except the outside braiding: also 25 feet of flexible cord soaked in compound #450 and braided over as when finished. We wish to try a compound in addition to #450 to render it more noninflammable. We also would like you to send us 50 feet of cotton covered line wire which has not been soaked in any compound. We find that compound #450 destroys cotton evn when dissolved in C.S.2., but we have found a way to overcome that entirely, and hope to make a compound that can be put on by melting. Please hurry forward the wire, and oblige." Yours truly, Laboratory of Thomas A. Edison
