[LB008249], Letter from Thomas Alva Edison to Edward Goodrich Acheson, May 13th, 1881
Editor's Notes
Please prepare a case of sample fibres similar to the ones prepared by Hammer & which he sent here. And case should show all the different fibres as from South American bamboo & all in their natural state and as they appear after shaving. And this case should show all the different kinds of bamboo cut in lengths between the joints and not split. Another case should show a single cylinder of bamboo, then the first splitting and the first shaving, the second shaving, and third shaving then some of them bent wound them the different sizes of carbon carbonized. In this same case I desire to show some of the bamboos wound in the form of a spiral not carbonized and also carbonized. Another case should show the [globe] as it comes from the glass [wound] and then with the bit on it for exhausting and then with the bit on and also cut off ready for [searing], then the tube [-a-ets] at each end forming the inside part, than the little flange blown on [---theto.] Another one with a open mouth then with it [carbonized] together with the wires in it, then the inside part solid in the [spoke] in fact I want to show the whole process of manufacture##These various parts should be securely packed by proper [cement] with grease covers in deep cases You can [proceed] at my expense what necessary [finances] &c you may desire in New York. I think duplicates of each should be made in case of breakage in fact I think you had better make three - one feor this office and two to go to Paris##This should be done at my expense [illegible] [for you].
