Inventor Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) shows the incandescent
lamps he created at his Menlo Park laboratory in New Jersey.
While Edison did not invent the idea of the incandescent lamp,
his invention, a one-piece carbon filament that glowed inside a
vacuum, added hours of life to the lightbulb and made it
practical for everyday use. Premium Collection -- double space
