Stanley Electric Manufacturing Co. vs. Toledo, Steam Plant Specification, (1 folder, ca. 1890)Scope and Content
This folder includes a multi-page typescript document titled “Edison General Electric Co., Engineering Department. Specifications for Steam Plant To Be Erected at the Edison Central Station.” The first few pages seem to be an introduction or summary, potentially stating the purpose or legal standing of the document. The subsequent pages contain numbered sections and formalized language, indicating a structured legal or technical framework. There are visible signatures or stamps, which could indicate official validation. The condition of the document appears fragile, with some pages showing wear along the edges.Context
This appears to be a multi-page legal or technical manuscript, possibly related to patents, contracts, or engineering records. The document consists of typed pages with handwritten annotations and red margins, which suggest it may be an official record or a notarized statement. Lewis Latimer inspected the Central Stations that the Edison Company built in various cities to supply electricity to customers. He also served as an expert witness for Edison in patent infringement lawsuits, which may explain the folder reference to Stanley Electric Manufacturing Company versus Toledo.Collection
