Menlo Park Reminiscences V3 is a book written by Francis Jehl that provides a detailed account of the life and work of Thomas Edison in his laboratory at Menlo Park. The book is the third volume in a series of memoirs and focuses on the period between 1880 and 1884. Jehl, who worked as Edison's assistant during this time, provides a firsthand account of the inventions and experiments that took place in the laboratory. He describes Edison's work on the incandescent light bulb, the phonograph, and the electric power system, among other things. The book also provides insight into Edison's personality and work habits, as well as the daily life of the laboratory staff. Jehl includes anecdotes and stories that offer a glimpse into the relationships and interactions between Edison and his colleagues. Overall, Menlo Park Reminiscences V3 is a fascinating look at the life and work of one of the most important inventors in history, as seen through the eyes of someone who worked closely with him. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of technology and innovation.Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 0766126471, 076612648X. Volume 3 of 3. (This description is for all volumes.) No more important contribution to the story of pioneer electrical develoment could have been made than the intimate day-by-day details that Mr. Jehl set down in book form, at the suggestion of Mr. Henry Ford. Edison referred to Jehl as one of my old associates and fellow-workers. With the restoration of the original Menlo Park laboratory in Greenfield Village, Dearborn, the memories of those Menlo Park days have been recalled and placed on record in these 'Reminiscences.' These books complete Mr. Jehl's intimate and true story of Edison at the greatest period of his career, those years at Menlo Park whose brilliant exploits gave to the world the Edison universally honored today. The 'Reminiscences' also include a list of the men who assisted in that great work at Menlo Park. With hundreds of rare photographs, this 3 volume set is historically fascinating, scientifically stimulating, and metaphysically enlightening as you read how Edison conceived the idea of inventions and how he brought them into material existence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
