The Light bulb
In 1875, Thomas Edison invented the light bulb.
His researcher was called James Woodward. At
first most people ridiculed them, but, Woodward
obtained a U.S. patent on his electric lamp and
,in 1879, Edison considered it sufficiently
important to buy out the patent from Woodward.
Woodward sold a share of his Canadian patent to
Thomas Edison in 1885. So the electric light bulb
became American.
