[D8724AAV], Letter from W H Ostsander to Thomas Alva Edison, December 12th, 1887

Editor's Notes

"I have an an attachment for the Arc Electric light by its use I claim a greater amount of light and of course more brilliancy from the same current as used for them now do you think it would be of any practical value? Also what would be the effect of the carbons (one) the upper one being cylindrical of the same amount of carbon practically. The lover one remaining the same, solid I have had considerable experience in making of models and have several practical little inventions which I hope soon to do something with. ## Hoping to hear from you" Marginalia in TAE's hand: "Tate ## Say I don't know much about arc lights only incandescent"
