The Edison No.1 was originally a wood-burning 0-4-0 locomotive built by the Manchester Locomotive Works in Manchester, N.H., in the 1870s. Ford acquired the locomotive and tender from the Edison Cement Corporation in 1932.
After the acquisition, Ford had the locomotive sent to the Ford Rouge Shops were it was rebuilt and significantly modified to its current 4-4-0 configuration. Additionally, the boiler was enlarged and the sand dome was moved forward. The tender was rebuilt and appears to be in its original configuration. The locomotive was originally oil-fired but was converted to burn coal in the early 1980's.
I photographed the No. 1 in Greenfield Village as it was under steam waiting to depart with a load of passengers.
The Edison Cylinder Phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison in the 1880s. Originally intended as a machine to transcribe telegraphic messages, phonographs were used as dictating machines in offices before being used for music at home. The first models on the market in 1891 sold for $150 (over $4,000.00 today!!). The cylinders used to record and re-play music were made of wax and originally had a playing time of 2 minutes. In 1901, the molding of cylinders was established, increasing the efficiency of mass production as cylinders were previously engraved once per recording.
This is an example of the Amberola model, introduced to the market in 1909 and meant as a high quality-luxury machine.
