This folder contains correspondence and other documents relating to the patenting, manufacture, and sale of Edison storage batteries in Europe. Most of the correspondence is by or addressed to the following individuals: Robert Rafn, who assisted attorneys working to obtain patents in Continental Europe; Herman E. Dick, who was authorized by Edison to exploit the battery commercially throughout Europe; Willis N. Stewart, who was seeking to purchase both the Edison and the competing Jungner patents; and Sigmund Bergmann, who began to manufacture Edison storage batteries at his factory in Berlin.

Approximately 50 percent of the documents have been selected. Among the items not selected are foreign-language descriptions of the battery and copies of foreign patent applications.
