EDISON THOMAS: (1847-1931) American Inventor of the phonograph and light bulb among many other items. A.L.S., E, one page, 8vo, n.p., n.d. [1924], to [Jaffrey P. Buchanan]. Typically writing in bold pencil, Edison announces '432 varnish poor prints today´s report at cost of 16 cents each. Costs $69,00 per day. It would pay to adopt some system different from piece work to do better varnishing.' and adds 'Perhaps varnish has something to do with it´. Extremely small crease to the upper edge and pinhole, otherwise VG £400-600
Jaffray P. Buchanan was employed by Edison as Manager of his Record Disc Division. The present note refers to Edison and Buchanan´s works on the production of the phonograph records.
