- 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."]
