Editor's Notes
The article starts by addressing Edison's preference for making work on his invention cooperative. It then details the process of the sale of the phonograph. It also details the events following the revelation that it had been sold for $750,000 rather than $500,000, including the dismissal of Tomlinson.
Thomas Edison accuses late legal adviser John C. Tomlinson and electrician/inventor Ezra T. Gilliland of cheating him out of $250,000 in the sale of the phonograph
