THE TELEPHONE^

Letter From Thomas A.

Edison.

The Question of Priority Between ISim^and Professor Hughes, of London.

Mr. Edllon Cfelriifl ft Violation of His Rights* and a Breach of Confidence Between

Friends.

To the Editor of the New York Tribune:

SIR:

Allow me to make a few obser

vations upon an editorial article which appeared in yesterday's Tribune upon the recent claims advanced by Professor D. E. Hughes,of London, to the invention of the leading features of my carbon telephone, and of my microtasimeter or instrument for the measurement of minute degrees of heat.

You have attributed to Profesors Hughes two improvem methods ot preparing the carbon buttons for the telephone, namely: in the metallization of the carbon by plunging it in mercury, and in the division ot the carbon into several pieces. Your supposition that the latter process is not identical with mv use of gas-retort carbon is perfectly correct, but the subdivision of the carbon had been repeatedly tested by me in my experiments on the telephone, especially in a series conducted at the special request of President Orton shortly before his death, of which the' illustrative drawings were sent at the time by several persons, and are still in my possession. The metallization of the carbon by plunging it in mercury is also a process perfectly familiar to me, having been employed in many of my telephone experiments of last year, and, though mercury is not specially named, it is clearly included in the expression "finely divided metals" which occurs in the memoranda I furnished Mr. Geo. B. Prescott for his forth coming work on "The Speaking Tele-

?'elegraph

hone," as printed in The Journal of the for the 16th of April last. Mr. Hughes seems to have been so im-

finely mercury in a fine state of division," of "metal distributed—in a fine state of division," of "iron in a fine state

divi-

son again, of "the minute division ot the iron," and lastly of 4a platinum surface in a finely divided state."

The change of electrical resistance with enormous rapidity by plumbago underpressure was a discovery of my own, disa tinctly set forth in my application for patent for an "improvement in speakintelegraphs," dated ]uly 20,1877, as pub lished at the time in The Philadelphia Press and The Scientific American, (July 28,1877). This discovery eviidently cov era the principle claimed ash own by Professor Hughes. He says: "It is quite evident that these effccts ar» due to a difference of pressure at the different points of contact"—which is precisely the principle of my carbon telephone, thus set forth months ago by Mr. Geo. Prescott in the above-mentioned volume "By constant experimenting, however, Mr. Edison at length made the discovery that when properly prepared, carbon possessed the remarkable property of changing its resistance with pressure, and that the ratios of these changes, moreover, corresponded exactly with the pressure."

You consider as the most striking difference between my telephone and the instrument of Professor Hughes, that in the latter the diaphragm is dispensed with. In his own words: "It will be seen, however, that in the experiments made by myself, the diaphragm has been altogether discarded, resting as it does upon the changes produced oy molecular action, and that the variations in the strength of the currents flowing are produced simply and solely by the ^direct ef-

feet of the sonorous vibrations. The following extract from Mr

Prel

cott's book, as given in The Journal of graph, April 16,1878, will show that the discarding

the Telet

the diaphragm is

,*nv own invention: In the latest form of transmitter which |™Mr. Edison has introduced, the vibrating diaphragm is done away with altogether, j*it having been found that much better results are obtained when a rigid plate of 'taetal is substituted in its place, With

/cults are obtained when a rigid plate of 'inetal is substituted in iis place, With the old vibrating diaphragm the articulation produced in the receiver is more or "Jiess muffled, owing to slight changes iSwnicn the vibrating^disk occasions in the ^pressure, and which probably results jfrom tardy dampening of the vibrations after having been once started. In the I jnew arrangement, however, the articyla-

Tion is so clear and exceedingly well rendered that a whisper even may readily be transmitted and understood. The inflexible plite, of course, merely serves, in ••sequence of its comparatively large irea, to concentrate a considerable portion ot the sonorous waves upon the small jXarbon disk or button a much greater •degree of pressure for any given effort on *nhe part of the speaker is thus brought to bear on the disk than could be obtained if only its small surface alone were used,

The claint,of Professor Hughes to the ^discovery that a modification of his miAerophone can be used as a measure of f!minute degrees of heat ia 6tillmore prefesterous than the preceding. This is discovery of mine, which was first an

THOMAS A. EBIION.

Menlo Park, N.J., June 6, 1878. (iff 1'if*' it 1 "V "ONLY AN ENGRAVER 4 Mr. W. J. Linton, perhaps the most distinguished of living engravers, re sumes in ficribner for June the recent newspaper discussion as to whether an "Engraver" is an "Artist." 'We quote as follows:

To descend again to the poor woodengraver. The first, in time and talent, was Thomas Bewick. Not known as a painter: a mere wood-engraver, and but an experimenter at that. Nevertheless, if there is room at the table (not in any Royal Academy, of course) where Blake has so lately taken his seat beside Hogarth, set a third plate, or only a wooden platter, for the engraver of the British birds! Of drawing, as it is called, eyen on the wood for his own cutting, I think there was not much, and of his painting I have heard no talk tout with the bire before him, he drew with his graver such portraits (were they only birds) as made his name immortal and entitled him, at least as much as Morland, to the rank of artist. He did more than bird-portraiture: but that alone had earned his title. "Only engravers I" do I call these? The expression is not mine. An engraver worthy of the name cAn not be "only an engraver." He may be "a plodder." So was Durer, so was Buonarotti, so were some others of good artistic repute. Not "only a copier." But for the moment let that limitation hold! What else is the painter? Is he always a "designer?"

Bewick drew with his graver from the bird before him. I have known an engraver at least to finish a portrait from the sitter before him. In what does such work, as artistry, differ from that of the portrait-painter? Or is, it easier, when the 5T" engraver unfortunately has not natural objects before him, to copy from the vague, looselv drawn, lifeless canvass, than from the life? The painter copies his model. First places him—so does the photograph er arranges the light—so does the photograper hangs up nis draperies or what not for back ground—so does the potographer. But the painter's is an original composition, in virture of which he may write himself down, designer and creator: his only'claim, perhaps, othe designations being th*t his designed improvements on the copy before him are false to Nature and to Art,—his creations monstrous. Or allow his imitative work to be never so fairly done, true, faithful, and to the life, is it his undesigning fidelity, or- the mere use of brush and pigment instead of graver or etching-point, which constitutes his eligibility to an R. A. or an N. A. ship, with power to exclude the as faithful copier or translator (which you will) in another mode? The best composer of landscape, except Turner, among our English painters—William

Leighton Leitch—told me that tie did but choose what to copy. He might leave out something standing in his way, some accidental, unessential hindrance or impertinence but he never found anything to improve—he had nothing to create or design. Thorwaldsen's one work of real genius, his "Mercury," was, I haye heard, a direct copy of an Italian lad, whose grace of form and attitude caught by accident his attention. Not one of all his many mythological creations, nor all of them together, could so enlorce his claim to the rank of artist, Am I seeking to lower the status of the painter or the sculptor Not so none stands higher for putting down another. But having to show what constitutes an^ artist, I must reach some exscter definition of that word design, which now bars the door against one "only'an engraver"—m other words, "a copyist."

What has this "copyist" to do? Does his master, Raffaelle, do all the designing for him? He gives a "Madonna," or his "Planets," to be copied, only copied, by a Marc-Antonio or a Dorigny. This mere copying clerk has to draw an outline which (|»e pleased to observe this, though the remark be new) is

had *oct. So is it with

i'J

not

in the picture he has to invent, to design, th« lines, the regulated strength and order of which shall not only most faithfully but also most beautifully round the forms and place at proper distance, and in perspective, the hollows of face end figure. There is not & fold of drapery that can take its right position and proper value in the engraving without nis most careful judgement and son)e degree of designing taste. If a poet is needed to translate the written verse from one tongue lito another, is not he an Artist who can translate a painting into the diffetent and less felicitous language pfnjere black and white? Though Chapman had never uttered a line of original poetry, his English Iliads stamped nirri a as Homeric—as the envraver who knows how also to express his original in the new (noraatter

how inferior (lanthat language aS not. It is not

uage, to oxpress it in painter Innself could

every painter who knows or can uoder^ stand the equivalents of color in simple black and white.
