• The enterprise of a western railroad In 1880
gave Edison’s greatest invention, the electric light,
Its first practical use while the conservative East
was still trying to laugh It off as a ridiculous Joke.
The dynamo from the Columbia Is In the National
Museum at Washington. It bears this Inscription:
“This dynamo furnished current for the first
commercial Installation of electric lighting. In 1879
while tho Steamship Columbia of the Oregon flail
road and Navigation Company was under construc
tion In Chester, Pa., the president of tho company
(Henry Villard) decided to light each room In the
vessel with the electric light. Accordingly Edison
equipment was installed, comprising this dynamo
with two others for current and a fourth for exclllm:
field colls, with 115 („mps In the circuit."
^The Scientific American of May 22, 1880. said
“The greatest Innovation Is the adoption of Hie

The lamps furnished for the Columbia were made
by hand, as Is revealed In the following letter writ
ten July 22, 1880 by Mr Edison to W. H. Starbuck,
eastern purchasing agent of the railroad:
“ Your favor of yrst’y Is Just at hand. I promised
Mr. Henderson (J. C. Henderson was engineer of
the S. S. Columbia) to send the lamps If 1 could.
The reason why they have not been sent Is we have
