Tungsten filaments are brighter and more efficient converters of electrical energy into light. The early filaments were pure tungsten and the today version is an alloy. Go find a 60 watt carbon filament bulb and compare the light output to a 60 watt tungsten filament bulb, they are both reproduced and the lumen output is specified for each. Sometimes they use candle power just to confuse the issue. There are conversion tables available. The URLs that I provided are sources for the bulbs or try this one. http://www.ferrowatt.com/

I just threw it out because it was on topic. I also have the original Fabulous Phonograph. Those were the ONLY 2 general books on phonos which I think Pop could find in the 1950's. And naturally we went to the Edison site in NJ. for first hand research. ;) In those days, the basement there had not been fully explored...I distinctly remember the guide saying that Edison had so much stuff that it was taking years to go through it. I remember the look in Pop's eye: it was saying, let me go through the stuff. LOL Pop did correspond extensively with some fellow in upstate NY, Reverend Kishpaugh (sp?; don't have it in front of me to check sp) who seemed to know a lot about phonos. But I doubt if he ever wrote a book...although after having looked at the letters, I think he probably should have. He seemed very knowledgeable. :) Has anyone ever heard of this Rev. Kishpaugh??

Among them, was a Columbia black wax 2 minute cylinder recorded by Joe Jefferson (1829-1905) noted stage and very early film actor from the 19th century doing a recitation from "Rip Van Winkle". I was trying to give him a hand establishing some price ranges on these cylinders but could not find anything by Jefferson selling recently. The cylinder plays very good. There is also some early black wax cylinders by Gilmore's Band in the Batch including wonderfully clear and loud, renditions of "Our Directors March", and the "William Tell Overture part 4" these were both in excellent shape. Does anyone have any idea what the value of these Columbia Cylinders would be? Thanks, Bruce From [email protected] Mon Nov 19 18:35:56 2007 From: [email protected] (Loran T.
