- W628182149 abstract "This newest volume in acclaimed 'Papers of Thomas A. Edison' covers one year in life of America's greatest inventor--1878. That year Edison, whom a New York newspaper in spring first called the Wizard of Menlo Park, developed phonograph, one of his most famous inventions; made a breakthrough in development of telephone transmitters, which made instrument commercially viable; and announced advent of domestic electric lighting, with only a few weeks' worth of tinkering necessary to complete its design (the announcement sent gas-company stocks plummeting; research and development went on for four years). These inventions brought Edison financial support for his work and attention from public. In January investors in Edison Speaking Phonograph Company agreed to fund development work on phonograph. The invention made Edison internationally famous and in May he traveled to Washington, D.C., to show phonograph at National Academy of Sciences, to Congress, and to President Rutherford B. Hayes at White House. That same month Western Union agreed to pay Edison an annual salary of $6,000 for his telephone inventions, although other support from company declined following death of its president, William Orton. The stress of unceasing public attention, including a trans-Atlantic dispute over question of who invented microphone, led an exhausted Edison to travel west during summer to witness a solar eclipse but also to seek rest. His six-week trip took him to San Francisco and Yosemite region of California. Edison began working on electric lighting after his return and in October Edison Electric Light Company was formed to support his research." @default.
