A patent application for "Improvement in Electric Lights" was filed by him on October 14, 1878. Various (различные) materials for the filament(нить накаливания) were tested by Edison. On November 4, 1879, another patent for an electric lamp that employed a carbon filament or strip connected to wires was filed.
 
 Various materials for the filament, such as cotton and linen thread, wood splints, and coiled papers, were experimented with by Edison. However, it wasn't until several months later that a carbonized bamboo filament, which could last for more than 1200 hours, was discovered by his team.
 
 The beginning of commercially produced light bulbs was marked by this discovery. In 1880, the new product was commenced (начинать) to be marketed by Thomas Edison's company, the Edison Electric Light Company.


 Filament - the part of a lightbulb that produces light.

    Most villages and towns on the British Isles came into being because of their favourable situation for trade.
    Rather more than a hundred years ago, a great change came over the land. Many machines were invented about that time. Spinning and weaving, for example, which had previously been done by hand, were done by machinery that were driven by water or steam-power.
    The work which usually was done in the houses of the people began to be carried on in large mills or factories, and workers found it convenient to live near them.
    More and more factories were built and men and women left the country districts in great numbers and crowded into towns.
    Since then the movement of people into towns has been going on until now. England is dotted with great cities.
    All over Britain, and especially in those parts were the coal needed for power is to be found, there are mining and manufacturing areas, such as the Lancashire cotton district, the Black county of Midland, and others. A great many towns are found close together in those districts, and a great many people live within a small area, so that the population is very dense.]]>     2023-09-27 10:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/plumpproposalelectronics/jia8pcalbe87m3vt/wish/2722874079     jpavlov237 https://padlet.com/plumpproposalelectronics/jia8pcalbe87m3vt/wish/2722880087 Questions:
