Excerpt from The Electrical World, Vol. 25: A Weekly Review of Current Progress in Electricity and Its Practical Applications; From January 5 to June 29, 1895

The incandescent lamp situation has not attracted the attention it did a year ago. A few decisions were rendered in cases brought by the Edison interests against infringing manufacturers. On Nov. 17 the Edison patent expired by limitation of the Canadian patent, but even this important event created little stir and has resulted as yet in no appreciable change in the situation.

The reversal of Judge Green's remarkable decision in the Edison feeder and main case is another of the important decisions handed down in the courts during the year.

The accumulator has occupied quite a prominent position in the field during the year. The installation of an auxiliary plant in the station of the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of New York marked an important advance in the' use of storage batteries of large capacity in this country. After more or less litigation, the Electric Storage Battery Company, of Philadelphia, acquired con trol of all the patents rights for the United States, thus securing to itself a monopoly of the sale of accumulators. The final settlement of a legal battle, in which the various companies have been engaged for many years, much to the detriment of the industry, will nu doubtedly lead to a more general use of storage 'batteries.
