Lewis Latimer received a patent for his unique design of carbon filaments for the electric incandescent lamp sold by U.S. Electric Lighting Co. Latimers' invention made it possible for U.S. Electric to operate lights safely at a higher temperature.
Latimer was considered such a talent that eventually the Edison Pioneers hired him to join their company, stealing him away from U.S. Electric.
Lewis Latimer was a multi-faceted genius for inventions, patent drawings and legal writing. He was so knowledgeable in law that Edison chose him to be the chief litigator in patent conflicts. Talk about a talented man!
