[D8933ABU], Letter from James L Edson to Don M Dickinson, October 23rd, 1889

Editor's Notes

Oct. 23rd, 1889####Hon. Don. H. Dickinson####Esteemed Friend:--####The facts are as follows:--####We have several circuits of over twenty five (25) miles in length and at times in fact, run over frequently. We hae coupled two (2) circuits together, thus arrying the current through fifty (50) to sixty (60) miles of wire. None of this wire was over number six (6) in size and much of it was number eight (8). We also run electric motors, arc lights and incandescent lights all on the same circuit and do so regularly. As to loss of lights of long lines, we have many long circuits and on some of the longest of them we frequently run full sixty five (65) two thousand (2000) candle power lights. That is the full quota of lamps for the machine.####This is the substanace of what Mr. Leggett, President of Brush Electric Light Co,, said to Mr. Ely recently and which is doubtless the foundation of the inquiry, as Mr. Leggett informs me.####Very truly yours, James L. Edson####[name mentions: Mr. Leggett, Brush Electric Light Co., James L. Edson, Don Dixon]
