While we are on light bulbs . . .
does anyone know of a reference book on
turn of the century light bulbs???
We excavated landfills from the 1904
St. Louis World's Fair and found, in
12 summers, only 3 bulbs. They look more
like "radio tubes" but I have been
assured that they are light bulbs.
I have scoured the St. Louis libraries
to no avail. Any references, assistance
would be greatly appreciated. I can get
the books through Interlibrary Loan.
Thanks!
