- Editor's Notes
- [Letterhead: The Edison Lamp Co.] Letter discusses the lawsuit with Westinghouse. Says he is willing to take the blame for the delay on the Westinghouse converter. Further states that he is in favor of he should be able to experiment on the converter and that the Edison Machine Works should offer one through "outside parties." He also disagreed with Chinnock about how they were experimenting. Wants an answer to this question: "Did you not commence a series of experiments regarding the converter system by the purchase from us of an alternating machine with converters?" He ends the letter by saying that his opposition to the converter purchase was only due to the method it was being procured. He did not want to stand in the way of TAE's experiments.
