Conversations

Here’s a selection of the conversations happening on these photos & illustrations:

Joseph Swan in his Laboratory

from North East Museums

• John keys said:

  Sound chap This Mr Swan...

• Timothy Jones said:

  "... Swan's demonstration of the light bulb at a lecture in Newcastle upon Tyne on 18 December 1878, before its invention by the American Thomas Edison ..." Now consider the idiocy of this. Swan demonstrated the light bulb, so he invented it. OK so the filament was a bit naff, and it was hard to achieve a good vacuum. Thomas Edison cannot have invented it AFTER Swan had already demonstrated it. Give Edison the credit for improving it, and creating a production line for its manufacture, but please, do not fall into that Transatlantic error of thinking Edison invented the light bulb. He did not.

• Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:

  Timothy Jones thanks. We've reworded the caption - we certainly don't believe it was Edison who invented the lightbulb!

Oscar Mackey (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• B-59 said:

  Oscar T. Mackey, he won a price in a tournament of the Angler's Club of New York in 1919, see The sun., September 23, 1919, Page 19, 7th. column "New Eastern Casting Record Set". The sun., April 30, 1919, Page 14, 4th. column "Oscar T. Mackey of the Anglers' Club" indicates that he was active as a angler for a long time ago. It's most likely the same Oscar T. Mackey who was a builder until 1902 (see query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F3071EFA355417...) and was a trustee of the Broadway Savings Institution (see New-York tribune., July 07, 1921, Page 18, advertising in the 6th column) He died in August 1921 (see New-York tribune., August 30, 1921, Page 9, 6th column). His name is there spelled as "Oscar P. Mackey", but he is described as member of the Angler's club and trustee of the Broadway Savings Institution, so I think it's the same man and the "P" is misspelled.

Worker at Westoe Colliery

from North East Museums

• Brian H. said:

  That's Norman Johnson. He was a fitter(I think) and he played in the Westoe Colliery Band.
