Electrical Experimenter (07:08) December 1919

Hugo Gernsback, editor

1919
"I suggest that if the young inventor has an idea he had better reduce it to actual practise and be sure that it works before applying for a patent. Ideas are easy, but working them into commercial shape is generally a long, tedious and expensive job. After successful operation and the results warrant it, a search of the United States Patent Office should be made to learn if it has not been previously invented or patented by others. Here is where the young inventor will have his greatest disappointment."
This is the December 1919  issue of Electrical Experimenter. The cover story of this special Edison issue is Hugo Gernsback’s interview, “Thomas A. Edison Speaks to You.” Other stories include whether the moon is a dead planet, the Carnarvon radio station, and the use of mica condensers in radios.
