[D8833ABE1], Letter from Francis Robbins Upton to Thomas Alva Edison, May 3rd, 1888
Editor's Notes
"Kindly advise us whehter you condier it advisable to continue paying taxes on the Holzer Belgian patent, # 79945?" Yours truly, The Edison Lamp Company per F.R. Upton "P.S. Dyer & Seely describe the patent as one "relating to the muncipal lamps now in use in which a third wire sealed in the glass holds out of operation a spring cut out which is released and closes a sharp circuit around the lamp when it is fused by the current which passes in it, when an arc forms across the borken filament."" [TAE marginalia: "I was under the impression I invented this. There must be some mistake [unclear] as if described below correctly its our present lamp--perhaps you had it take it out so as to not interfere with foreign contracts [unclear] you better keep it alive E."]
