[MBLB3010], Letter from Charles Batchelor to Sherburne Blake Eaton, August 25th, 1881

Editor's Notes

Telegraphed TAE yesterday about fire caused by Lane-Fox lamps. Describes circumstances: our watchman discovered fire. Shortly after a delegation of officials and scientists examined our wiring. I showed and eplained everything; they expressed admiration at "perfect safety of the system." Then I showed them our insulation would not burn by holding covered wire in a flame.
