Edison acquired his knowledge of electricity and telegraphy (use of a telegraph system
to communicate at a distance) as a teenager. In 1868. at age 21, he developed a telegraphic
vote-recording machine, the first of his inventions to be patented. The next year, Edison

him money was another improvement on the stock kicker. Edison created a central mechanism

this invention, Edison received $40,000, which could be worth $530,000 in 2000. He and a
business partner, who operated a machine shop, used the money to start a new company to
manufacture Edison’s improved stock ticker. For the next five ears Edison spent up to 18 hours
a day in his workshop in Newark, New Jersey, inventing and manufacturing a variety of
