This General Electric Company educational comic traces the history of electric light from early experiments through practical applications. The narrative begins with Thomas Edison's development of the incandescent bulb, detailing how earlier scientists like Sir Humphry Davy and Sir William Grove had produced light with electricity but lacked materials suitable for practical use until Edison discovered that carbonized cotton could work as a filament. The story then transitions to a visit to the "University of Light," where scientists and engineers study and test various types of light bulbs, examining thousands of different designs General Electric manufactures for specific purposes. The final section showcases specialized lighting applications including flash bulbs for photography, infrared heat lamps for therapeutic use, germicidal ultraviolet tubes, and black-light technology used in crime detection.
