Light Bulbs

Dear Henry Albert,

The light in my bathroom went kaput. I couldn’t see. It is not good if you cannot see in the bathroom. I unscrewed the old light bulb and replaced it with a new light bulb. It went unkaput and I could see again. It was good.

The old light bulb was made by Philips (Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands), was 75w and made in Canada. The new bulb is 75w and made in Poland by the same company.

A long time ago they had lamps, torches and other stuff.
The first light bulb was invented by Murray Light-bulb.

The first lamp was invented around 70,000 BC. A hollow rock, shell or other natural found object was filled with moss or a similar material that was soaked with animal fat and ignited. It probably smelled bad.

Wicks were later added to control the rate of burning. (Guess who invented the wick.) Around the 7th century BC, the Greeks made terra cotta lamps to replace handheld torches. The word lamp is derived from the Greek word lampas, meaning torch.

Sir Humphrey Davy of England invented the first electric carbon arc lamp in 1801. A carbon arc lamp works by hooking two carbon rods to a source of electricity. Carbon arc lamps can also be used to cook a chicken. Sir Joseph Swann of England and Thomas Edison both invented the first electric incandescent lamps around the 1870s.

The light in my bathroom from the old bulb, made in Canada and the new bulb, made in Poland is almost the same. It is hard to tell them apart. That is good. It is easy to tell the difference between Swiss cheese and American Cheese.

Animal fat lamps and whale blubber lamps can also be used for cooking chicken.
Making light bulbs in Canada and Poland is probably an example of Globalization. Ask your Daddy.
