EDISON, OF MENLO PARK, NEW IN ELECTRIC LIGHTS. Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 219,628, dated September 16, 1879; application fife? December 9, 1878. To all whom it may concern : Be it known that I, Thomas Alva Edison,of Menlo Park, in the county of Middlesex andState of New Jersey, have invented an Im-provement in Electric Lights, and the follow-ing is declared to be a description of thesame. The object of this invention is to produce acandle or light-giving body -by the incandes-cence of a conductor of electricity in the formof a cylinder, jmsm, or other mass of a sizeadapted to yield the required volume of light. The invention consists, in an electric-light-giving body formed of a conductor, such asfinely-divided platinum, iridium, ruthiniuin, orother metal difficult of fusion, incorporatedwith non-conducting material.
