Echoes of Edison Did you know that Thomas Edison invented an electric pen in 1875? It could reproduce up to 5,000 copies of a single document and became a boon in the insurance and banking industries.  A few years later, Edison's second generation solution, the mimeograph, was being promoted by A.B. Dick, who'd bought the patent from Edison. In the 1890s another offspring of the original invention was the world's first electric tattoo pen. Even now, in the 21st Century, Thomas Edison continues to be a standard for measuring technological prowess and entrepreneurship among today's geniuses of creation and management. Thomas Edison was known throughout the world for his many inventions, and his legacy continues in the 21st Century. In an effort begun in 1978 to sort more than 5 million pages documenting Edison's works, The at Edison Papers at Rutgers University publishes an online edition of these transcribed and annotated documents. One of the most ambitious editing projects undertaken by a university, The Thomas Edison Papers provide a unique resource for understanding the unbounded themes, variations, and processes of invention and innovation. The volumes offer an overview of Edison's life and career and significant resources for understanding the development of electrical and other technology, as well as the emergence of new technological industries.
