Edison, Thomas A. American inventor.

Autograph Noted Signed with initials, in pencil, above the text of a lengthy one page quarto letter, dated Oct. 8, 1925, from F.S. Blinne, an assistant who was working on the development of the phonograph and phonograph records. In response to a mechanical suggestion from Blinne about using variable instead of constant speeds on a record, Edison writes:

"Blinne - There are more than 40 patents on this idea = Variable Mechanism is unreliable & none put out have kept or sold TAE."

Fine.
Estimated Value $500 - 750.
