The entries from August pertain to experiments on the submarine detector. Included are details of trips to Sag Harbor, Long Island, to listen to torpedoes being fired at Bliss Proving Ground and other locations. The Bliss entries bear brief notations by Edison. The notes indicate that Isidor (Jerry) Chesler, E. Rowland Dawson, John A. Hanley, and Sherwood T. (Sam) Moore also worked on these experiments. The front cover is labeled \"Experiments. #4.
