  Subject: CS>Edison, Not A. Bell


  Listers:

  I got my inventions, not my inventors, crossed.  It was Edison, not A.
Bell:
  Thomas Edison, the brilliant inventor whose accomplishments include the
light bulb, also spent years attempting to invent a device to communicate
with the dead. Edison, whose parents were spiritualists, never fulfilled his
dream of creating such a device. This little-known fact was first publicized
in The American Magazine in October, 1920, in an article entitled, Edison
Working to Communicate With The Next World. It is also documented in
Sinclair Lewis’ 1951 book, Mental Radio, which has a foreword written by
Albert Einstein.

  Sorry for the mis-statement.
