Description

Thomas Edison

ANS in pencil signed “E,” one page, 5 x 8, dated in another hand 1924. A memo related to manufacturing problems, likely intended for Jaffrey P. Buchanan, manager of Edison’s record disc division. In full: “432 varnish poor prints (today’s report) at cost of 16 cents each. Costs $69.00 per day. It would pay to adopt some system different from piece work to do better varnishing—perhaps varnish has something to do with it.” Allover toning and a single pinhole, otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
