Title

[D8325ZAY], Letter from John Hoskin to Thomas Alva Edison, June 23rd, 1883

Editor's Notes

Wants a lamp for service in Hawaii on board ship. Also some factory customers want to use arc lights for area lighting and incandescent lights for workbenches. What kind of lamp would you recommend, clusters of A lamps or 50/100 cp lamps? Also, what do you recommend for masthead ship lights? TAE: "fot & heavy atmosphere obliterates all white light in fog only the red & yellow gets through= 10 A Lamps in Cluster will do better than any arc if rightly arranged-- We can give arc but strongly advise 1st try incandescent cluster in special opal reflector"
