Thomas Alva Edison, American inventor and businessman, 1926.
Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931), American inventor and businessman, 1926. Edison developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph and a long lasting light bulb. Dubbed The Wizard of Menlo Park by a newspaper reporter, he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production to the process of invention, and therefore is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory. Edison is considered one of the most prolific inventors in history, holding 1093 US patents in his name, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France and Germany. From An Outline of Christianity, The Story of Our Civilisation, volume 4: Christianity and Modern Thought, edited by RG Parsons and AS Peake, published by the Waverley Book Club (London, 1926).
