Title

[D8704AFL1], Letter from Thomas Alva Edison to Geneva Non-Magnetic Watch Co, December 7th, 1887

Editor's Notes

[Printed advertisement with Edison's endorsement of Paillard's Patent Non-Magnetic Compensation Balance and Hair-Spring of the Geneva Non-Magnetic Watch Co.] Over the past six months have tested the watches and find them "exempt from magnetic influence" even around dynamos and powerful electro-magnets; "I have been carrying one of your watches in my pocket and going around dynamos and other electrical appliances where I have never been able to carry a watch without ruining it, and it has proved an excellent timekeeper."
