Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution of the Electric Incandescent Lamp The outcome of a race of diligence between two independent but equally meritorious inventors, is perhaps as often as otherwise determined by chance or accident. In this respect, it may not inaptly be compared to the result of a horse-race, in which the fortunate winner carries off, not only all the honors, but the purse as well, although his nose may have passed under the wire barely an inch in advance of some of his no less deserving competitors. It is a matter of common observation that when the fullness of time arrives, the discovery or invention for which the world has been waiting is certain to be made. The critical student of affairs perceives, that however wonderful or however unexpected that invention may appear, it is seldom that it is not found to be a necessary sequence of a long series of other discoveries and inventions which have preceded it. Even in those rare cases in which an improvement of indisputable novelty and originality is made known to the industrial world, it is scarcely ever sufficiently perfected in its details to be capable of practical use until it has been worked upon and improved by many hands and many minds. But it has always been the way of the world to consider every such invention, especially when of a character to appeal to the minds of the masses, or to identify itself closely with the everyday life of the community, as the work of some particular individual, who, as it were by common consent, is regarded as its sole originator and contriver, and upon him, fame, honor and wealth are lavished without stint, in childlike unconsciousness of the universal truth that inventions of this character are not made, but grow; that they are not the fruit of momentary inspiration, but on the contrary, are the inevitable results which from time to time mark the slow but constant progress of scientific and industrial evolution. The history of electric illumination forms no exception to the general law, but the materials for that history are hidden in the voluminous records of the Courts, and of the Patent Office; in the files of newspapers, and in the transactions of learned societies.

Book excerpt: A sweeping history of the electric light revolution and the birth of modern America The late nineteenth century was a period of explosive technological creativity, but more than any other invention, Thomas Edison’s incandescent light bulb marked the arrival of modernity, transforming its inventor into a mythic figure and avatar of an era. In The Age of Edison, award-winning author and historian Ernest Freeberg weaves a narrative that reaches from Coney Island and Broadway to the tiniest towns of rural America, tracing the progress of electric light through the reactions of everyone who saw it and capturing the wonder Edison’s invention inspired. It is a quintessentially American story of ingenuity, ambition, and possibility in which the greater forces of progress and change are made by one of our most humble and ubiquitous objects.

Book excerpt: In September 1878, Thomas Alva Edison brashly—and prematurely—proclaimed his breakthrough invention of a workable electric light. That announcement was followed by many months of intense experimentation that led to the successful completion of his Pearl Street station four years later. Edison was not alone—nor was he first—in developing an incandescent light bulb, but his was the most successful of all competing inventions. Drawing from the documents in the Edison archives, Robert Friedel and Paul Israel explain how this came to be. They explore the process of invention through the Menlo Park notes, discussing the full range of experiments, including the testing of a host of materials, the development of such crucial tools as the world's best vacuum pump, and the construction of the first large-scale electrical generators and power distribution systems. The result is a fascinating story of excitement, risk, and competition. Revised and updated from the original 1986 edition, this definitive study of the most famous invention of America's most famous inventor is completely keyed to the printed and electronic versions of the Edison Papers, inviting the reader to explore further the remarkable original sources.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution of the Electric Incandescent Lamp In the following pages an effort has been made to bring together, in a convenient and accessible form, some of these detached fragments which seemed to have present or prospective historical value, and at the same time, as far as practicable, to indicate for the benefit of future investigators the sources from whence they have been derived. It is hoped that each reader will thus be enabled to formulate his own answer to the inquiry as to whom the world is principally indebted for modern incandescent electric lighting.

Download or read book Electric Light written by Sandy Isenstadt and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How electric light created new spaces that transformed the built environment and the perception of modern architecture. In this book, Sandy Isenstadt examines electric light as a form of architecture—as a new, uniquely modern kind of building material. Electric light was more than just a novel way of brightening a room or illuminating a streetscape; it brought with it new ways of perceiving and experiencing space itself. If modernity can be characterized by rapid, incessant change, and modernism as the creative response to such change, Isenstadt argues, then electricity—instantaneous, malleable, ubiquitous, evanescent—is modernity's medium. Isenstadt shows how the introduction of electric lighting at the end of the nineteenth century created new architectural spaces that altered and sometimes eclipsed previously existing spaces. He constructs an architectural history of these new spaces through five examples, ranging from the tangible miracle of the light switch to the immaterial and borderless gloom of the wartime blackout. He describes what it means when an ordinary person can play God by flipping a switch; when the roving cone of automobile headlights places driver and passenger at the vertex of a luminous cavity; when lighting in factories is seen to enhance productivity; when Times Square became an emblem of illuminated commercial speech; and when the absence of electric light in a blackout produced a new type of space. In this book, the first sustained examination of the spatial effects of electric lighting, Isenstadt reconceives modernism in architecture to account for the new perceptual conditions and visual habits that followed widespread electrification.
