Description
Thomas A. Edison Annotated Typed Notes Signed "E". A total of seventeen pages, 8.5" x 11", [1919]. Questions and answers prepared by Jeffrey P. Buchanan, manager of disc record manufacturing, to be posed to civil engineers and mechanical engineers seeking employment at Edison Laboratories. There are eight pages of thirty-nine questions and answers designed to test mechanical engineers and another six pages of twenty-four questions and thirty-one answers for civil engineers. There are an additional three pages with Edison's pencil notes regarding the questions and answers. Included is an undated and un-attributed newspaper article critical of Edison's methods of questioning of applicants and his assertion that college men are "amazingly ignorant" when it comes to answering his questions. Toning and minor chipping at the edges, else very good.Auction Info
