NEVER STAY IN DARKNESS, SEEK THE LIGHT AND KNOW THE POWER OF LOVE, KNOWLEDGE AND SUCCESS. (BRENDA A. YSAGUIRRE)
He Helped Bring Electric Light into our Homes
-After Edison received a patent for the first "successful" electric light bulb hundreds of improvements were made by many inventors within a decade. Lewis Latimer invented a light bulb that burnt evenly every time by a process called manufacturing carbons. Before that process the filament often quickly broke or bent, would start on fire, or the light bulb would shatter. His light bulb cost only pennies to replace.
-He crafted the blueprints for Alexander Graham Bell's Telephone.
-He became Edison's law expert in court--protecting Edison from patent infringements--saving him millions of dollars.
-He wrote the book, Incandescent Electric Lighting: A Practical Description of the Edison System, which became known as the electrical bible.
-He was the supervisor of North America's first electrical plants and streetlights, which were installed in New York City and Philadelphia.
-As an employee of the United States Electric Lighting Company he made improvementsperhaps many improvements to the light bulb that the company, not Latimer, received credit for. That was common practice.
-He was an original member of the Edison Pioneers.
