“I start where the last man left off”
—Thomas A. Edison
t
Edison, to explain his incessant and tireless reading of scientific
journals, technical papers, patents and books, said that he read to
avoid useless repetition of old experiments. “I start where the last
man left off.”
What Edison knew, and perhaps said in an unquoted moment,
is that thousands of men would be needed to “start where he left
off.”
“Just wait a little while,” prophesied Edison, “and we’ll make
electric light so cheap that only the wealthy can afford to burn
candles.” Edison lived to see lamps that gave four times as much
. light and cost one-fifth as much to buy. And electric lighting has
progressed far beyond that.
He recognized that an invention does not end a search. It begins
a search.
The lamp was a beginning in forcing not only its own evolution
but the evolution of meters, fuses, sockets, wiring, power distribu
tion systems, transformers and generating stations.
He lived to see the company that was formed to carry on de
velopment of electric light and power evolve into one of the
world’s most important industrial research centers. Today General
Electric laboratories employ several thousand men and women
who are seeking new things on widely different fronts.
It is seventy-five years since Edison lit the first successful carbon
lamp. He will be remembered for inventions that changed jhc
world. But let him be remembered, too, for inspiring so many men
to start where he left off.

Ford for '54 . . . advanced design engine.
954 Ford *Exclusives’ Noted
_
The 1954 Ford passenger cars
feature the following Ford exclu
sives in the high volume field:
An entirely new 130-hp Y
block V-8 engine with overhead
valves.
A new 115-hp I-block mileage
maker six engine, noted for econ
omy.
New ball-joint front suspension
which Ford engineers call the
greatest advance in front suspen
sion in 20 years.
The Skyliner—an entirely new
hardtop model with tinted, trans
parent plastic roof over the driv
ing compartment.
A smart new Ford Sunliner
convertible with an unusual
transparent plastic panel inserted
in the top over the front seat to
provide overhead visibility.
Four new power-operated driv
ing assists: Power brakes, power
steering, four-way power seat,
power-lift windows.
Fordomatic transmission.
“The two new Ford engines for
1954—the Y-block V-8 and the I
block mileage maker six—were
designed expressly to lead their
respective fields and have been
under development for the past
six years,” according to Henrv
J. Lohaus, manager of the Lo
haus firm.
“Ford was the first to offer a
V-8 engine in the low-price
field, and although the major
ity of expensive cars joined the
V-8 parade. Ford today is still
the only car in its price class to
have V-8 power.
“For 1954 Ford has perfected
two new engines that are as far
ahead in their fields as the or
iginal V-8 was in its day. They
represent the greatest power ad
vances since the original Ford
V-8. And they have the benefit
of Ford ‘know-how’ gained in
building more than 16 million
V-8 engines during the past 22
years,” Mr. Lohaus said.
Mr. Lohaus pointed out that
Ford’s new overhead valve Y
block V-8 engine, with its deep
block construction, is of modern,
short-stroke, low-friction, high
compression design. It has a com
pression ratio of 7.2 to 1 and is
smoother, quieter and gives more
responsive power with greater
economy and longer life than last
year’s engine. It rates 130 brake
horsepower, up 20 horsepower
over the 1953 L-head V-8.
The new I-block 115-hp mile
age maker six also is a complete
ly modern high - compression,
low-friction engine. It rates 14
horsepower more than the 1953
Ford six and, like the Y-block
V-8, it is an “over-square” en
gine
According to Mr. Lohaus, the
new ball-joint suspension makes
the 1954 Ford the most comfort
able and easiest handling Ford
ever built. __
