00W1 if- I. I start where tfslv ip' -' sir? 1 ' y the last man left off X- -- -Thomas A. Edison K i' xx ia' Edison, to explain his incessant and tireless reading of scientific journals, technical papers, patents and books, said that he read to avoid useless repetition of old experiments. I start where the last man left off. What Edison knew, and' perhaps said in an unquoted moment, is that thousands of men would be needed to start where he left offs lust wait a little while, prophesied Edison, and we'll make electric light so cheap that only the wealthy can afford to burn candles. Edison lived to see lamps that gave four times as much light and cost one-fifth as much to buy. And electric lighting has progressed far beyond that. He recognized that an invention does not end a search. It begin: a search. The lamp was a beginning in forcing not only its own evolution but the evolution of meters, fuses, sockets, wiring, power distribu- tion systems, transformers and generating stations. He lived to see the company that was formed to carry on de- velopment of electric light and power evolve into one of the world's most important industrial research centers. Today General Electric laboratories employ several thousand men and women who are seeking new things on widely different fronts. It is seventy-live years since Edison lit the first successful carbon lamp. He will be remembered for inventions that changed the world. But let him be remembered, too, for inspiring so many men to start where he left off. Pvglessls Our Mod lmporlanf Htoducf GENERAL ELECTRIC 01s? 00191-70'20f10' 40 0Zx 151
