His work laid the foundation for the modern electrical age and industrial research laboratories.

William H. Meadowcroft (1853–1929) served as Edison’s trusted secretary, business manager, and confidant for decades. Meadowcroft played a crucial role in managing Edison’s affairs and later became instrumental in preserving and organizing Edison’s papers, inventions, and legacy, ensuring their survival for future generations.
