Then he slept better.
This was his opportunity to do what he had for long dreamed of doing. With the capital he now had he started a plant in Newark, N. J. , to manufacture stock- tickers, and in a little while his business became ex- THOMAS ALVA EDISON 123 tremely prosperous. His factory worked day and night, and this is what he did himself, taking snatches of sleep in his workshop instead of going home.
One of his first patents was an automatic telegraph capable of sending and receiving three... thousand words a minute and recording them in roman type. He then took hold of the old Remington typewriter, and per- fected it; later, in 1873, going to England to intro- duce his automatic telegraphic inventions.
Edison inventions came thick and fast now, and during the '70's he worked out more than one revolu- tionary invention, including his wonderful phonograph and incandescent lamp.
The phonograph worked at the first trial, and, im- agine his workmen's stupefaction, when the machine re- peated the words he had talked into it, "Mary had a little lamb Its fleece was white as snow, " and they recognized the boss's voice.
