Nov 21, 1891.
Messrs. Dyer & Seely,
No. 36 Wall Street,
New York City.
Dear Sirs:-
Replying to your letter of 17th instant addressed to Mr. Edison, in regard to certain claims in his application 749 which have been rejected by the examiner, Mr. Edison has made a note on the said letter substantially as follows: “My claim is for a low resistance inoxidizable metal, and Weston says either silver or platinum – platinum is a very high resistance metal. I point out that platinum must not be used. Weston’s brushes always make a copper contact, the sliver is between. Don’t appeal, but explain. Edison.”
Yours truly,
A. O. Tate
Private Secretary.
