started in commercial
operation with a load
of 400 lamps, supply-
ing current for light-
ing to a district nearly
one square mile in
area. Mr. Edison did "Let The

customers for lighting
until the system was working smoothly
and satisfactorily in every respect. The
first bill for lighting presented to a cus
Comer amounted to $50.40 and was col-
kcted January 18, 1883. It was based on
the reading of an Edison electrolytic
meter, one of which was installed on
each customer's premises.

re

The Edison electrolytic meter, or
chemical meter as it was called, re-
corded the amount of energy consumed
by the customer by= measuring the
change in weight of two zinc plates.
Two strips of zinc were attached to the
terminals of a German silver shunt
which diverted a fixed portion of the
total current used on the premises. The
plates were immersed in a solution of
zinc sulphate, and when electricity
passed through .the meter, zinc was re-
moved from the positive plate and
transferred to the negative. Both plates
were then brought in to be weighed,
and the difference in weight in either,
since the previous measurement, in-
dicated the amount of current that had
been used. One plate thus served as a
check against the other. The deposit of
metal was calculated into "lamp-
hours". Due to improvements in the
lamp and reductions in rates, a dollar
buys 30 times more light today than in
the early days.
The chemical meter was quite videlv
used for some years. Later, Mr. Ed ison
greatly simplifled and improved electric
metering, and the principle of his
dial-indicating meter of the house-
hold type ---the first of
what are known as the
"motor type meters"
-is still in use with
modifications.
WfHEN Mr. Edison had
demonstrated the com-
mercial possibilities of
his system by establish-

nies in large cities,
the parent company
accepting a percentage
of their capital, securi-
ties as payment of
license fees under the
Edison patents, and
contracting also for
Be Light", the supply of lamps,
apparatus, etc. This
left the rest of the
United, States and Europe open for the
cash sale of plants whenever requested.
The modern Edison electric service com-
panies in Detroit, Philadelphia, Boston,
New York, Chicago and other cities are
original Edison licensees. Mr. Edison
long ago disposed of his financial in-
terests in these .companies, and the
present Edison companies are financially
independent of each other. In 1884 an
"Association of Edison Illuminating
Companies" was formed to provide a
central organization for the discussion of
mutual problems, both technical and
commercial, and to provide a focal
point for Mr. Edison's expert advice and
assistance. For example, in the early
days Mr. Edison observed that some of
the Edison companies prospered while
others did not. He suggested that the
Association undertake to devise a uni-
form svstem of accounts for analysis in
locating the cause of success or failure.
The accounting system which evolved
from that suggestion is a very useful
tool in the management of the various
companies, even to the present day.
"IT is necessary in recalling the causes
which led to the commercial successof
the Edison companies to recognize the
effect of the establishment among them
almost from the beginning of a uniform
svstenm of accounts and reports and of
arrangements for the confidential dis-
tribution and exchange of practical in-
formation. The system of accounts, al-
though far from complete, served for the
making of intelligent comparisons. The
