PROSPECTUS.

Turs Company has been formed. for the purpose of acquiring and, using in the Empire of India, Gayton; Australasia and South Africa, the ‘rights and privileges of Mr. Thomas Alva Edison, relating to the application of. Electricity or Magnetism as » lighting, heating, or motive agent (except the application thereof for the purpose only of locomotion on railways or tramways or common roads, and except also the right of the Cape Government to use an installation which has been already sent out to them), and for the other objects specified in the Memorandum of Association, a print of which is in the fold of this Prospectus.

t

A large number of Patents or Letters of Registration have been obtained by Mr. Edison for India and the Colonies of Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and New Zealand, alljof which are secured to the Company. Applications for Patents or Registrations: have been or will be made in the last-named Colonies, and in South Australia, Tasmania, West Australia, South Africa, and Ceylon, which when obtained will belong to the Company, without any further. payment except the cost of ' making or completing such applications. 'S a ee

In addition to the above, the Company has acquired a most important advantage in the right to - patent and use in Australasia, South Africa, India, and Ceylon, all Mr. Edison’s improvements which may be made during the term of five years, from the 12th day of June, 1882, No further payment will accrue to Mr. Edison on the Company exercising this right. After the expiration of the term of five years the Company will have the option of acquiring all additions arid improvements made and patented by Mr. Edison on payment of such sums as may from time to time be agreed on or fixed by arbitration in case of difference. The only reservation in favor of Mr. Edison is in respect of locomotion on railways, tramways, or roads.

The Edison Incandescent Lamp is unequalled for domestic and general illumination, and is suitable for all places where a steady, brilliant light, absolutely safe in its production and use, is required. It is peculiarly adapted for India and other tropical countrics, as it will be unaffected by Punkehs and wind currents, and emits comparatively little heat. When once fixed it requires no skilled labour, but can be attended to by an ordinary native or other servant.

The Edison System, however, docs not merely comprise a particular form of lamp, dynamo or regulator, but is a comprehensive whole, embracing every detail essential to the economical, reliable, and safe production and distribution of Electricity for the innumerable purposes to which it can be applied, whether in connection with light, heat, or motive-power. It includes many ingenious and effective devices believed to be peculiar to this system, some of which are referred to in the following extract | from a lecture at the Society of Arts, by Mr. W. H. Preece, F.R.S., Electrician to the Post Office, . which affords important independent testimony to the above statements :—

“ The completeness of Mr. Edison’s exhibit was certainly the most noteworthy object in the [Paris] exhibition. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, no detail missed, There we saw not only the boilers, engine, and dynamo-machine, but the pipes to. contain the conductors; the. conductors themselves, heavy and massive,—for Mr-Edison recognizes the waste of energy that must ocour in small conductors, —the insulation, the fixtures, the brackets, the safety catches, the lamps, devices to avoid the effects of expansion and contraction through changes of temperature, meters to measure the current used, regulators to control the consumption of fuel.” i * : “Mr, Edison’s system has been worked out in detail, with a thoroughness and mastery of the subject that can extract nothing but eulogy from his bitterest opponents. Many unkind things have been said of Mr. Edison and his promises; perhaps no one has been severer in this direction than myself. It is some gratification for me to be able to announce my belief that he has at last solved the problem that he set himself to solve, and to be able to

The Safety-catch, above referred to, is an invention for preventing danger from fire in case of the conductors generating heat by reason of breakage or other accidental injury.

The system may be seen in full operation on Holborn Viaduct, where the street extending from Holhorn Circus to Old Bailey, the Oity Temple, Two Hotels, the Entrance to the London, Chatham & Dover Railway Station, Messrs. Spiers & Pond’s Restaurant, and numerous shops and Offices are lighted up from a Central Station. The Lamps give out very little heat, they may be grasped by the naked hand

without danger or inconvenience, are free from odour and give off no products of a poisonous or noxious character.

This Oompany, deriving as it does its rights and privileges direct from Mr. Edison will be a parent Company. It will be prepared to undertake the business of a Lighting and Power Company, by lighting up towns, public buildings, manufactories, barracks, and residences, and supplying power by means of electricity; and in order to enlist local capital and influence will grant licenses to Corporations and local Companies to carry on a similar business.

With a view to the early commencement of active operations the Directors have made arrangements for purchasing a number of Mr. Edison's lamps, dynamos, and other materials which are now in London ready for shipment to some of the principal centres of population and industry within the Company's field of operations. Mr. Edison has agreed, until 1st January, 1888, to 8 Dynamos; Lamps, and other specialties of his system, of his own manufacture,

‘

3

The consideration to be paid for the property and rights secured to the Company is the sum of £26,000 in cash, 5,000 A Shares, fully paid and ranking as such for dividend, and ‘10,000 B Shares, fully paid, upon which no dividend will be paid until after the A Shares have received a cumulative dividend of 6 per cent. per annum. The surplus profits available for dividend, after payment of the 6 per cent. of cumulative dividend on the A Shares will be divided equally between A and B Shares until the A Shares shall have received a dividend equal to 10 per cent. The remaining profits, subject to a percentage payable to the Directors, will then be divided equally between the A and B Shares respectively, No promotion money will be paid. ;

The Directors are in negociation for securing the services of an exceptionally competent Manager, who will be prepared to visit India and the Colonies whenever occasion may require.

The only agreement entered into is dated 12th June, 1882, and made between THoxas ALVA Epison, of the first part; Gzorer Epwarp Gouravp, of the second part; and the Marquis of TWEEDDALE, The Honorable W. Sv. Joun Broprick, M.P., Henry Scunestwncrr, Colonel The Honorable W. Le Porr ‘Trenou, and Sir Groree WarreEnper, Bart., of the third part, and which is open to inspection (together with the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company) at the Offices of Messrs. Brronant & Co., Solicitors, 26, Austin Friars, London. :

Gury, Mrris & Co., of 67, Lombard Street, London, B.0., or the Commercial Bank of Scotland, Edinburgh, the Oompany’s Bankers, togother with a deposit of 10s. per Share. In case of no allotment being made, the amount of deposit will be returned in full. Where a smaller number of Shares are allotted than are

Numerous other letters addressed to Insull, which relate to one subject or to the business of one particular company, can be found in their appropriate subject folders.

All documents that provide significant information about Edison or his companies, along with a few significant pieces of Insull's personal correspondence, have been filmed. Routine correspondence relating to the various Edison organizations has not been filmed. Included in this category are routine letters pertaining to bookkeeping, the ordering of supplies, and the shipping of materials; letters of introduction; and requests for Insull to act as an intermediary with Edison.

Most of the documents relating to Insull's private affairs have not been filmed.
