Thomas Edison Letter Signed Regarding Work Done by MIT
Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor and businessman who has been described as America’s greatest inventor. He developed many devices in fields such as electric power generation, mass communication, sound recording, and motion pictures. These inventions, which include the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and early versions of the electric light bulb, have had a widespread impact on the modern industrialized world. He was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of organized science and teamwork to the process of invention, working with many researchers and employees. He established the first industrial research laboratory.
Thomas Edison typed letter signed, composed upon “From the Laboratory of Thomas A. Edison” stationery, with his watermark. Dated 27 May 1912, Edison writes to Professor Harold Pender of MIT regarding automobile research. Letter reads in part, “…allow me to say that I am pleased to have the privilege of assisting in the work which has been taken up by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to enable our merchants to obtain unbiased data as to the merits of Automobile Trucks of various kinds…” Edison then writes that he’s enclosing a check for $1,000 for the investigation. Signed “Thomas A Edison” with Edison’s famous umbrella signature. Letter measures 8.375″ x 10.875″. Smoothed folds and uniform toning, in very good condition. Sold for $1,180.
