Title

[MBLB3022], Letter from Charles Batchelor to Sherburne Blake Eaton, September 4th, 1881

Editor's Notes

Made arrangement with an engineering and tool-making firm (who make Gramme machs) to use their machines to light their exhibition space if they would provide power. Also using their machine to light up the American Commission's office, Dolbear's telephone office. Emphasize again that all we have is open to view, and we'll have to develop the Light quickly in Europe or others will take all we have. Maxim puts a small copper wire in circuit in place of our safety catch. Swan puts lamps in multiple arc, not in series as we thought. Maxim and Swan lamps both very irregular and they keep weeding them out.
