Edison Lane (originally Post Office Lane) ran from Creek Street to the rear of the General Post Office. Barton and White, the firm of electrical engineers which first generated electrical power in Brisbane had their premises in the lane. It became Edison Lane in the late 1890's.
Thomas A. Edison invented his first phonograph in 1877. The sound was recorded on tinfoil around a grooved cylinder.
Despite its limited sound quality and that the recordings could be played only a few times, the phonograph made Edison a celebrity. Although Edison obtained a patent for the phonograph in 1878, he did little to develop it until Alexander Graham Bell and others produced phonograph-like device in the 1880s that used wax-coated cardboard cylinders.

This lake is at the end of the road from when you drive up Highway 168 out of Fresno. This location is about a mile and a half out of the campground near the lodge and store. There is a creek that empties out into the lake at this location and the fishing is supposed to be pretty good here. I threw in my line and tried a lot of different areas, but this picture was my best catch of the day. The fish weren't biting.
Detroit Edison mid-train helpers work a train of empties through Nineveh, Pennsylvania on the Monongahela’s Manor branch. With 140 of DE’s 140-ton hoppers totaling in excess of 19,000 tons, this train will need the 9000 horsepower of these helpers, in addition to the 12,500 hp up front.
LSRC Y505 passes underneath the Blue Water Bridge and the 1858 GT wooden depot which now houses a Thomas Edison museum. Port Huron was Thomas Edison's hometown; he would briefly work as a telegraph operator for the Grand Trunk in Ontario.
Coal trains meet at Oak Harbor, Ohio with Detroit Edison U30C 019 leading empty's east back to Pennsylvania to load is about to meet a westbound. Above crossing over are N&W coal loads on the former Wheeling heading north for Toledo on 4-21-77.
ACS-64 no. 607 (Siemens, 2012-2016) leads a westbound train through Edison Station. The location is somewhat fitting, since Thomas Edison was a prolific inventor, and is well-known specifically for his electric inventions (though it is Sprague that is the "father of electric traction").
Caught this beautiful show from Nanquidro overlooking Edison Lighthouse.I counted at least 9 shafts of light emininating through the cloud.

CSX K371 drags phosphate loads out of New Wales onto the Valrico Sub towards Mulberry. Lead engine #7216 is a CM44AC rebuilt from an AC4400.
Such amazing vibrancy along the Edison Highway to the east of Bakersfield proper, which is only boosted by the arrival of a west bound BNSF mixed freight. C44-9W 4083 leads, filling the warm air with its own particular music, whilst the Conductor gives a friendly wave.
Life energising medicine, California style.
A fitting name for a street that leads to an electric company.
The GE Sign is one of the most iconic symbols of the capital region, ad I've never photographed it. I rarely make it out to Schenectady at all, even though it's only 20 minutes away. While driving around checking on angles, I found that Edison Ave provided a natural frame through 2 bridges, with plenty of puddles to reflect the light.
Edison Theatre - Beautiful old Edison Theatre Building in Ft. Myers, Florida. I understand that the theatre was built in 1941 and was an operating theatre until around 1980. Though it houses offices today, I am thankful that its unique Art Deco decor has been preserved.
The steamer Detroit Edison of American Steamship Company emerges from the fog at Port Huron, Michigan down bound on April 20, 1980.
This is one of the buildings on Ocean drive in Miami. I wanted to get a close in view of the sign. I decided to blur the background in my post processing and give the image a darker edge so that the sign stands out more.
If you like this picture please feel free to look at my HDR set for all of my HDR shots. I also have a set with all of my Miami pictures in.

Taken in Thomas Edison's laboratories in West Orange, New Jersey
Here is a find! (Not the surprise I promised yesterday, but still a wonderful get for collectors). We are in the Carrick Mill Antiques store out at Carrick, Tasmania. It is in the marvellous old stone water mill built by Thomas Monds in 1846).
But here are three shelves full of rare Edison phonograph recordings dating from the turn of the 20th century. Thomas Edison's company manufactured the first phonograph cylinder recordings in 1888. These wax cylinders (which played for two minutes) became the industry standard for several decades.
But there's more: If you look closely you'll see some of them are Edison Amberol Records that played for four minutes (about as long as you could wind up one of those mechanical players anyway). These were introduced in 1908, but in 1912, Edison came out with the new Blue Amberol Records. These were made out of a form of early plastic and thus more durable. You'll see some Blue Amberols on these shelves as well.
