RE: Electrical Pioneers quiz
Thanks for the compliment. Actually I didn't know all of them. However I expect to have a litle more free computer time next week and I will probably google your list and refresh my memory about the ones I knew, and find out about the ones I didn't know.
BTW, Is William Stanley the Stanley of Stanley Steamer fame?
thanks

Swan invented the first incandescent light bulb that lasted for any practical length of time. He then worked with Edison to put it into mass production.

OK, you might have me there, but whose name is on the patent?
RE: Electrical Pioneers quiz
Swan had the first patent (UK) to include a carbonised filament in 1878.
Edison's patent (US) including a carbonised filament was approved in 1879.

There used to be a fantastic TV programme here in the UK called "Local Heroes" (repeats are often shown on some of the higher numbered cable/sat channels). I almost certainly picked it up from there.
