Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cyclopedia of Applied Electricity, Vol. 3: A Practical Guide for Electricians, Mechanics, Engineers, Students, Telegraph and Telephone Operators, and All Others Interested in Electricity The incandescent lamp was but a piece of laboratory appa ratus up to 1878, at which time Edison produced a lamp using a platinum spiral in a vacuum, as a source of light, the platinum being rendered incandescent by the passage of an electric current through it. The first successful carbon filament was made in 1879, this filament being formed from strips of bamboo. The names of Edison and Swan are intimately connected with these early experiments.
