THE VOTE RECORDER R. EDISON’S first invention was the vote recorder. Although this device is not in use today, it has done more for humanity than we realize. The vote recorder was an instrument whereby a member of a legislative body, by moving a switch at his desk, could have himself recorded as voting either “aye” or “no.” The “ayes” and “nos” were then automatically added showing in a very short time the vote of the entire body. Mr. Edison was very happy over this invention, as he thought he had a method of “purifying” the ballot, since the device worked perfectly. However, when he tried to introduce it in the United States Congress at Washington, he was disappointed, for the officials there would have nothing to do with it. They said that the device would prevent filibustering, which is a method used to kill undesirable legislation. After this experience Mr. Edison resolved that he would devote his time to inventing only those things for which there is a commercial demand, thus the vote recorder experience has meant a great deal to the world, for it placed the Wizard’s thoughts and energies solely on those inventions for which he thought there was a recognized need.
