My name is Jack Stanley, I have studied history for many years. This blog is about history in a more raw view, not over done. I often use original materials to bring a historic event or story to life or an interview I may have done with the person mentioned. If you cook a vegetable too long it loses much. The same can be said of many histories. They are the history of the history written before it. Over done history. THIS IS HISTORY IN THE RAW. Comments send to phonograph78@hotmail.com

The first screw in lightbulbs 1880
When Thomas Edison and his team were working on lightbulbs. Edison was doing work and was using kerosene for an experiment. He was unscrewing the top of the kerosene can and someone mentioned that would be a great thing to use to put a light bulb into a electrical socket. So it was tried. You will see the result here. The first type of screw in light bulb with the drawing behind it. I like to think of it as the KISS method. If you look at the base of the first type of screw in light bulb...you can see the base is the same size as the spout of the kerosene can!
