Thomas Alva Edison was born in Ohio in 1847. He was the youngest of seven children. Edison was taught by his mother. At the age of twelve Edison sold fruit, candy, and newspapers. In 1862 he became a telegraph operator. Edison's first invention was an automatic telegraph repeater (1864), which enabled telegraph signals to travel greater distances. His first patent was for an electric vote counter. In 1869 Edison hired eighty workers, including chemists and mathematicians, to help him with inventions; he wanted an " invention factory."

From 1870 to 1875 Edison invented many telegraphic improvements, including transmitters, receivers, and automatic printers and tape. The A. B. Dick Company licensed Edison's patent of the electric pen (1877) and manufactured the first copy machine. Edison's most original and successful invention, the phonograph, was patented in 1877.

Edison and others organized the Edison Electric Light Company in 1878. Edison made the first practical electric light bulb in 1879, and it was patented the following year. In 1887 Edison moved his operations to Menlo Park in New Jersey. This was the first industrial research lab and Edison's major innovation. Edison directed it from 1887 to 1931 and various inventions included a magnetic ore separator, a cement process, an all-concrete house, an electric locomotive (patented in 1893), a nickel-iron battery, and motion pictures. Edison also developed the fluoroscope (an instrument used to study the inside of the living body by X rays), but he refused to patent it, which allowed doctors to use it freely.

Edison became a world symbol of American inventiveness. Edison died in 1931. Although the phonograph and the electric light bulb are his best known inventions, perhaps his greatest innovation was organized research.
