Abstract: Abstract By the time Thomas Edison applied for patent #223,898 for his version of the lightbulb, he had already formed the Edison Electric Light Company in New York City. He’d sold his vision: “We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles,” which helped him line up investors like the Vanderbilts and J. P. Morgan. And within a decade, he’d recruited dozens of the smartest engineers in the world and built the world’s first industrial laboratory in Menlo Park, NJ.1
