Two letters: ALS, signed “E,” in pencil, one lined page, 5 x 8, no date. Edison writes to C. W. Luhr. In full: “I have some Reproducers that the limiting pin & (drawing) holder lets weight down lower than others. Also I note that cord apparently varies in length and some diamond points when playing has the lever at a different angle than others.”; and an ANS, signed “Edison,” written at the bottom of a one-page TLS to Edison from Luhr, dated October 30, 1923, 8.5 x 11. Edison writes his response in the blank area at the bottom of the page. In full: “ I will try and get one. Such things will always occur where mfrs do not check everything by Inspectors.” In very good condition, with uniform toning, some slight staining, and a corner chip to ALS, and intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, light toning, and a few small edge tears and chips to ANS. An excellent pair of letters depicting Edison’s hands-on approach to quality control.
