Edison as I know him, by Henry Ford, in collaboration with Samuel Crowther.
EDISON As I KNOW HIM established and from then on its perfecting was a matter of detail, to discover how best to make each part and also what the part could best be made of. If the first model had not worked, then Edison would have studied it until he thought he knew why, would have sketched the changes, had them made, and gone on in such fashion until he found a model which would work. It will be noted that he had discovered the principle in connection with other experiments and that he sketched his first model out of experience. 62
