For those of you who are interested in some of the behind the scenes stories regarding the incandescent lamp you might go to two new websites I have. One, (http://www.frognet.net/~ejcov/goebel.HTML), deals with Henry Goebel. The second, (http://www.frognet.net/~ejcov/pacz.html), deals with Aladar Pacz, the developer of nonsag tungsten.

Ed,

You must be proclaimed a true historian of the development of the electric lamp !
Bravo ! A very fine job. Thank you for putting all of those bits and pieces of information into perspective for the rest of us. You are a true asset to the electric lamp collecting community.

Thanks, Bob, for your kind words. I've just put another site on regarding John W. Howell and John Allen Heany for those of you who have some interest in what went on behind the scenes. Go to?http://www.frognet.net/~ejcov/howell.HTML

Ed,

You posess the knowledge and certainly the skills to write a nice collectors book.
Surely you've been asked about doing something like that before now ?

Fantastic work !
Thanks again !
