Edison Lab Re-Opens - PART 1

[phonophan79]

So, after I went to the Wayne parking lot meet, I made my way over to the Edison Lab Museum re-opening.

There was a nice crowd there, they did a cylinder recording and playback session. Took lots of pics, here are a bunch.

Thanks for posting the great pics, almost like being there. I hope to get there some day to see it in person. I like the one of his desk. You have to wonder how many ideas were conceived and brought to life sitting there... I also like the ones of the shop floor, me having a long history in manufacturing, it's interesting to see how things were made. The Science Channel's "How it's made" is a great show. Thanks again for parts 1 and 2 worth of pics!!
