For Our Daily Challenge: Roll.
This container holds the roll for the Edison cylinder gramophone which was the forerunner to flat record players.
The Edison Electric Illuminating Company was incorporated in 1886. I don't know how old this building is, though.
The company later changed its name to Boston Edison, and even more recently was absorbed by NStar, which is who uses this building now.
The building is not in such great shape and when I saw the warning sign from a distance, I thought it was going to be indicating a vacant building that was condemned or was structurally unsafe. But no, the building is in use and the sign is for high voltage.
I love the architecture of the restaurant. A sense of honesty is built in with a nod to retro classicism.
Thomas Edison's Menlo Park invention factory, as reestablished at Henry Ford's Greenfield Village in Dearborn.
Taken in the autumn of 1988.
There's something about Greenfield Village. For those of us who live near Dearborn, it's a special place; a slice of history as captured by Henry Ford and as interpreted by his successors. But I've friends in Dayton who consider the Wright Cycle Shop to be a stolen artifact, and I suspect there are folks in New Jersey with similar opinions about these buildings.

Sorry 'bout the horribly dirty slide. I may work this one over again one of these days.

Los señores Edison Santos, Gerente General de Corporación La Loma y Augusto RamÃrez, Vice-Presidente de Estrategia y Proyectos Especiales de Brugal & Co. fueron seleccionados para presidir dos diferentes mesas redondas durante una sesión de trabajo de corporaciones de los sectores de alimentos, bebidas y agricultura.
At the grand opening of Greenfield Village - October 21, 1929 - Edison, who was deeply honored and moved by the tribute given to him that evening, reenacted the lighting of the first incandescent light, which originally took place 50 years ago on that date in the very same building. Henry Ford and President Hoover were right there in the room with him while this event was nationally broadcast on radio. After the moment took place, Ford ordered his men to have the chair upon which Edison sat for the reenactment to be nailed to the floor as is. The chair was to be never sat in again.
My set of Edison Nickle-Iron batteries. These were manufactured in the early 1950's and still worked. These provide energy storage for the cabin.
Located at Frederiksberg Alle 2 in the inner city district of Vesterbro. The Edison Biografen opened in 1908 and closed in 1925. Seen here in 2008, it is in use as a photography shop.

Dress Details
Hat: constructed like a flower pot; narrow at the base and then opens up to the top.
The yellow daisy cotton fabric was pleated. I then trimmed with some off the rack ribbon and rossettes. For the top I took an old scarf in Moss Green to Make the grass. I then created a flower stem out of pink jeweler's wire and attached a store bought velvet flower
Dress: the top and skirt are two separate pieces made from the same cotton fabric as the hat. I also lined both items with white polka dot fabric for a perfect inside (not shown)
the Skirt and blouse is trimmed with some off the rack ribbons
