329 CPW Oct. 17th, 1891. Bernard Cahn Esq., Care Mercantile Trust & Deposit Co., of Baltimore, Baltimore, Md. Dear Sir:- Your letter of the 7th instant, asking for information in regard to my new system of applying electricity to street railways, has reached me. In reply I take pleasure in informing you that I have an experimental road in my Laboratory grounds a quarter of a mile long upon which the system referred to is being operated successfully. It works smoothly and well and is a more fixed and permanent system than either the trolley or cable. It is expensive, but not so much so as a cable road. I beg to refer you to the Edison General Electric Company, Edison Building, Broad Street, New York, for any additional information which you may desire concerning the system. Yours very truly, Thos A. Edison No Enc.
