Framed Print of Staites patent electric light apparatus
Engraving of Edward Staites patent electric light apparatus, exhibited at the Hanover Square Rooms, London in 1848. The light used a weight-driven mechanism, controlled by the heat of the arc of electricity expanding and contracting a copper strip. Although not a commercial success to begin with, W. Petries improvements to the original design led to Edison and Swan adopting the light in the 1870 s.
