- Editor's Notes
- [addressed from The Edison Miemograph A.B. Dick Comp'y 19 Dey St. N.Y.C.] The ink which we use for mimeograph work is all right for our machine when the stencil is made on a Remington or Caligraph typewriter, but gives poor results--or rather unsatisfactory when used in connection with the Hammond.##I think, however, that an ink similar to the Cydasteple Ink or that used with the Electric Pen, would do better work, and I would desire it a great favor if you would ask Mr. Edison to send me the necessary directions for making this ink-- I would like to come out and explain the matter personally, as I are certain Mr. Edison could help us out, but I dislike the idea of taking up his time. Yours very truly, Macolm McDowell <TAE Marginalia: John We have some common printers ink down stairs make seveal mixtures of about 3 oz each using Castor oil--Olive oil & thin it down in various proportions & grind through the ink Mill in Joes Room put in bottles marks No 1 No 2 etc E>
