The experimental room conceived Edison was a
long (75 feet) room filled with tables. This included the
facilities make large metal parts, such castings for
dynamos, which had usually been made outside the laboratory
because their size. Edison had begun using notebooks in
the formative days Newark, envisaging them daily
record containing ideas previously formed, some which have
been tried,.." The notebooks would left the tables to
be picked whenever idea needed recording the results of
.
A galvanometer room for electrical testing also figures
in the plan, evidence that Edison intended his new laboratory
to fully equipped carry out electrical work, especially
on his incandescent lamp. Also placed these tables would the
experimental notebooks which each experimenter would record
the progress his work., and some that have never been sketched, tried,
or described.. Edison decided that this inconvenience
would not hinder him the new lab and subsequently planned to
erect forge and furnace the ground floor. glass blower's room included in
this plan and subsequent sketches show vacuum pump room;
Edison planned complete facility devoted research and
testing electric lights.
The upstairs this planned laboratory contain the
experimental rooms where the work invention was be
carried out. each table would be
experimental apparatus and the models stages of
construction.9
