Description
This folder contains a variety of unbound periodic reports pertaining to operations at ESBCo plants and to the performance and maintenance of Edison cells. Included are daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly reports of production and expenses, as well as daily reports by plant inspectors and department managers. The items relate primarily to the chemical works at Silver Lake, New Jersey, and to the plant at West Orange. There are also weekly reports by William G. Bee dealing with storage batteries already in the hands of customers. The authors include ESBCo employees H. A. Altengarten, C. W. Bissell, G. P. Lamb, George J. Peck, C. E. Sholes, and W. E. Wilson. Many of the reports were routed to Edison, and a few contain marginal notations or attached memoranda by him.
A sample of less than 10 percent of the documents has been selected. The selected items consist primarily of reports containing substantive Edison marginalia or attached Edison memoranda.
