Building Chemical Laboratory The guiding principle this plan that less more: the laboratory now stands is. The evidence from the target period not sufficient show how each table the building looked and how chemicals and equipment were arranged the table tops.W. To get the best idea the way the laboratory looked during the 1910-1914 period, photographs and documents broader period have been examined. Although the arrangement the chemical laboratory changed from 1904 1917, for interpretive purposes, the assumption that the way chemical experiments were carried out, including use and placement major pieces equipment, did not change significantly. These two projects require different equipment and much less it. The concern here highlight the materials involved these projects-phenol resins, waxes, shellacs, nickel plate, sulfuric acid-and the properties the different combinations chemicals.cluttered with load ofjunk accumulated over the years. This forms block four tables the front half the building devoted one subject. The furnishings plan therefore based a composite several photographs from different time periods, ddition a 1914 inventory. Lancaster produced chemical table used Albert Petit table Laverty 181 . Work the laboratory has been simplified make more intelligible the visitor. the period 1910-1914, the work the chemistry laboratory focused developing materials for phonograph records and testing batteries. Reducing the number items this building will important step returning to its appearance during the interpretive period. Consequently photographs dating from 1904 1917 have been examined and will be. The visitor should know, however, that in Edison’s laboratory men and experiments migrated from table table and chaos generally ruled. The experiments required mass complicated equipment including glassware and rubber tubing. There are important conceptual links between tables. As the rubber project occupied Thomas Edison’s declining years, the building began fill with equipment (the current interpretation the site). The work developing and testing chemicals for phonograph records took place tables and the east side the aisle and tables and the west side. used evidence. As far possible this plan assigns experimenter each table and specific experimental project each table. Comparison with photographs taken during the period 1904-1917 shows much less cluttered room with plenty space top (and below) the experimental tables. Interpretation of this area should stress the links between the work done each table: H
