I also visited the newly opened Edison Labs museum. Here are some pictures of Edison's library in the lab complex.

: The time clock Edison punched in on every day. The paper sign on the clock reads something like, "FINAL NOTICE: Cigarette smoking in the labs must be stopped. Anyone found to be smoking will be dismissed" Signed Thomas A. Edison

: Walking into the library.

: Edison's desk. The large clock above the mantle supposedly stopped at ~3:20 am at the approximate time he died on the day he died and was never restarted.

: The cot in the library where Edison would sometimes nap during the day.

: A C-2 Radio-Phono in the corner.

Bruce,

Thanks for sharing these pictures!

Seems like you had a nice trip to NJ.
Makes me want to visit the Edison Labs myself.

Paal.

Paal, If you are ever in the New York area I would highly recommend it not just to phono collectors but to anyone interested in that era. Although I focused on and took more pictures of phono related things, the laboratory had a much broader purpose.
