eferable form isshown in Fig. 1, where A is a shell composedof two halves, a, one of which is shown in Fig. 502. This shell is made slightly tapering at theends, and with a slight inward tiange, so asto grasp firmly the wire B B. The two halves are placed so as to form acomplete cylinder, the ends grasping the wire 55B B, and the hoops or bands E E slipped on. This arrangement forms a shell or case forthe safety-wire, and at the same time relievesit of tensile strain, the strain of the wire B Bbeing carried by the case. 60 What I claim is— 1. The combination, with the safety wire ordevice, of an inclosing case or shell, substan-tially as set forth. 2. The combination, with the safety-wire 65and main severed conductor, of a shell or caseinclosing the safety device or wire and reliev-ing it from strain, substantially as set forth.

N.perens, photo-uthographes, Washington, d c. United States Patent Office. THOMAS A. EDISON, OF MENLO PARK, NEW JEESEY.ELECTRIC LIGHT. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 227,227, dated May 4, 1880. Application filed February 10, 1879. To all whom it may concern : Be it known that I, Thomas A. Edison, ofMenlo Park, in the State of New Jersey, haveinvented an Improvement in Electric Lights,5 (Case No. 171,) of which the following is aspecification. The object of this invention is to economi-cally apply electricity to lighting and to in-sure uniformity of action in the differentio lamps. The invention consists, first, in an improvedincandescent lamp and regulator; second, inan automatic switch connected with the regu-lator of the lamp to connect it with the line;15 third, in grouping several lamps in such a inau-ner that their combined resistance shall be thesame as one lamp. Figure 1 represents the lamp and the circuit-connections. 1,2,3,4,5, and 6 are coils of wire—20 p
Thomas Edison, 1847-1931, is credited with the development of many important inventions and technologies. Some of his most notable patents and inventions include: - The light bulb: Edison's most famous invention, the light bulb, revolutionized the way we light our homes and businesses. He worked for many years to perfect the design of the light bulb, and his efforts ultimately led to the development of a practical, long-lasting, and commercially viable electric light. - The phonograph: Edison's phonograph was the first device to successfully record and reproduce sound. The phonograph used a cylinder coated with a substance that could be etched by sound waves to record audio, and a needle to play it back. This invention paved the way for the development of the modern record player and other audio recording and playback technologies. - The motion picture camera: Edison's motion picture camera, also known as the kinetograph, was the first device to successfully capture moving images on film. The kinetograph used a series of rapidly rotating lenses to record a series of still images, which could then be played back in rapid succession to create the illusion of motion. This invention laid the foundation for the modern film industry. - The electric pen: Edison's electric pen was an early precursor to the modern-day tattoo machine. The device used a needle that was rapidly vibrated by an electric motor to create a series of punctures in a sheet of paper. This allowed users to easily create multiple copies of a document using a technique known as stenciling. - The electric vote recorder: Edison's electric vote recorder was an early voting machine that was designed to automate the process of tallying and recording votes in elections. The device used a series of levers that could be activated by voters to indicate their choices, and a mechanism to tally the results and display them on a dial. This invention was intended to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the electoral process.
