Title
[MBSB21146], Interview, Thomas Alva Edison, March 23rd, 1879
Editor's Notes
NY World interview. Has 18 lamps running in lab from 2.5 hp Gramme: "I rigged them up to show our stoholders and I expect some others of the company down here to-night." Only task remaining "is to do away with mechanical defects. The problem of subdivision is solved;" burner is fine in sealed globe. Not enough houses to have demo in MP; will light Metuchen in summer. Despite rumors of financial trouble, expects to have continued backing. Compares heat radiation from gas, incandescent lights. Briefly discusses conductors, comparing them to gas mains.
