Biogzraphers agree that it was Strat. ford Junction on the C.N.R., that the inventive genius of this amazing youth began to show itself in his attempts to improve upon the science of tele. gyraphy. From the time of his asscciaâ€" tion with Canadian rallroading, the story Oof Edison unfolds like a fairy tale in its revelation of what one man can do in the span of a singls lifetime. Thers is no one today who could not well take a fow minutes t7> think of the benefits this great man has brought to ths world. EJlison not only gave us lastirg benefits but he laid the sground work for continued organiz.â€" Among some of his best known accomplishments are the first practical jincandescont lamp, the first commerâ€" clally practical generator and the first practical system of electric power transmission and distributionâ€"a group of basic inventions with which, in 1882. with the opening of the first commer. cial gonerating plant, he ushered in the ago of electricity, Without these achievemonts we might not have the conveniences clectric power gives us today. Other acccmplishments include the motion picture camera, the phonograph, the alkaline storags battery, the car.â€" bon .microphone ‘transmitter which played an important part in the devel. cpment of the telephone and in the art ofâ€" radio broadcasting, ‘the "Edison Effect" lamp which was the first ther. mionic tube and the basis of our presâ€" ent radio tubes. ed ressarch and manufacturing. The manufacturing companies which he founded are carrying on the great traâ€" ditions and inventive genius intro. duced. The benefits we derive and wlill con. tinus to derive in the future are beyond human calsulaticn, No other man ever contributed more to our present civil. ization and the stimulation of indus. trial progress. During his lifetime Fdiso. reccived some 1180 patents, the first coming in 1868, covering the elec. tric vote recordeor.. After that, in rapid successicn he invented many products and put to practical use many scienti. fic principles. : Canada Has Part Claim â€" on Thomas Edison, Whosel Birthday Observed Feb. 11 Although Thomas Edison was a naâ€" tive United Statecs and actually com. pleted most ¢f his inventions in that country, he was definitely a partâ€"time child Canada.

This was a perâ€" manent contribution to the common cause on behalf of the people fighting for freadom and democracy, In to this great man, invenâ€" tor and patriot, every citizen should pause and reflect on Edison‘s work and so, in a small way, pay tribute to on® of the world‘s greatest benefactors whose spirit today is still contributing to the enrichment of our daily lives.

It astounded evon Edison by clearly recording "Mary Had A Little Lamb" the very first time it was tried! Of mors than 1,150 Edison inventions, the phonograph was his favourite. In an article in th» "North American Roview" Edison foreshadowed ten pro. minent uses for the phonographâ€"all since accomplished. Chicf among the prosent.day applications is the Edison Vcicewriter (the Ediphon:), a widely used device for business letter writing. Carbhon Telephone Transmitterâ€"Inâ€" ventsd by Edison just after he moved his laboratsries to Menlo Park, N.J., in 1876. This invention not only made telephone a commerclal art but it also included the Microtasiâ€"Meter and the Microphone which makes radio broadcasting possible! The "Edison Effect"â€"In 1883, "The Electrical Wizard" patented a previâ€" ously unknown phenomenon. He founl that an independent wire or plate, placed between the filament legs of an incandescent lamp, acts as a valve control the flow of current. This be. came known as ‘"The Edison Effect." It covers the {fundamental principle on which every radio tube is based! The Motion Picture Cameraâ€"Invent.â€" ed by Edison in his prosent laborator. ies in West Orange, N.J., in 1889 giving birth to a gigantic industry that has reached to the ends of the earth.

Duplex, Quadrupiex, and Multiplex Telegraph Systemsâ€"During the years 1872 to 1876 Edison worked on and completed many inventions,â€" including the motcgraph automatic lelegraph system, duplex, quadruplex, sextuplex and multiplex telegraph systems; also Paraffin Paper, and the Carbon Rheo. stat. Our Electric Railroadsâ€"From 1880 to 1882, Edison worked on the invention and installation of the first electric railway for freight and pas.â€" sengers at Menlo Park, N.J. Edison also invented the "third rail" system of power transmissiOn. The "Universal" teck Tickerâ€"In.â€" vented by Edison in 1869, at New York City.

In 1913, after spending much time in j its development, Edison introduced his | Kinetophone, making "talkies" of : "movies". However, he had foresha â€"|! dowed the production of this combined | device, as early as 1887. The Primary Cell â€" Edison spent many years developing and improving _ his zincoxide and caustic soda primary cells. In 1893, these cells supplied the power for the first electric semaphore | railroad signal, installed near Phillipsâ€" burg, NJ. ‘ ed that a better type of storage battery could be made, Thomas Edison labored for 10 years, spent $3,000,000 and perâ€" formed 50,000 experiments before he was satisfied with his nickel, iron, al. kaline storage battery. It was Edison‘s most difficult invention. The Generation and Distribution of Electric Currentâ€"Edison developed the dynamo and, on Septembjer 14, 1882, in NKew York City, h> opened the world‘s first commerciali central station, distri. buting electric current for light, hoat and power. Thus, "The Electrical Wizâ€" ard" ushered in "The Era of Electricity" and made possible every type of elec. trical appliance we enjoy today! Electric Sockets, Switches, Puses, ctc â€"Immediately after inventing the elec. tric light, Mr. Edison set about invent. ing all sorts of nccessary electrical adjuncts. By 1881, he had organized and established shops fcr the larg>.â€" scale manufacture of dynamos, under. ground conductors, socirts, switches, fixtures, meters, etc. CGiant Rotary Coment Kilnsâ€"From 1900 to 1909, Mr. Edison established his Portland Ceément Mill, and made many important inventions including huge. new rotary cement kilns.

The Universal Electric Molor â€" In 1907, Edison invented his Universal electric motor which, among» other things, made it possible to operate dic. tating machines on any and all ligatâ€" ing circuits.
