Experimental results

Charles Edison, Thomas Edison's son, was governer governor of New Jersey from 1941 to 1944.

Campaigning for the governorship in 1940, Edison was anxious to dssociate himself from his father's renown. "I would not have anyone believe I am trading on the name Edison," he would explain as he introduced himself.

"I would rather have you know me merely as the result of one of my father's earlier experiments."


From the Little, Brown Book of Anecdotes.
