- [LB018411], Letter from Samuel Insull to Francis Robbins Upton, September 23rd, 1884
- Editor's Notes
- Mr. Edison requested me to write to the London Co. and ask them whether they would be inclined to buy Swan lamps from you with a guaranteed life greater than those they now manufacture themselves and with our style of sockets on, or else the same style as they now put on Swan lamps.##Mr. Edison told me to quote a price of forty cents in lots of 2000 or more.##Inasmuch as you are now in direct communication with the Edison & Swan United Electric Light Co. of London, I think it would be far better if this letter was written by you. I do not think that Mr. Edison anticipated that they would accept this proposition, but I think he wanted to fish for the present cost of the manufacture of the Swan lamp to the Edison & Swan Co.
