TAE has been too busy with the phonograph to test the material but will do so in the next few days. ### Has not sent the requested items because TAE may return home any day and the items would not have arrived. ### Gives "contemporary history" of various items Starts with Electric Light, discusses new corporation "Edison General Electric Company."
