This is a piece of elephant skin. Edison didn’t want his researchers to be held up waiting for exotic materials to be delivered so he kept a fully stocked warehouse with everything imaginable on the shelves. The laboratory complex included a physics lab, a chemistry lab, a metallurgy lab, a pattern shop, and chemical storage buildings. Keeping all of this up and running was expensive but right next door were Edison’s factory buildings where many of the townspeople were employed making batteries , phonographs,light bulbs and even furniture.
