Cathy:

Just in case there was any question about that name (Aleksandr 
Nikolaevich Lodygin)-- here's the interesting scope and content note 
from the catalog record for the Lodykin family papers at Columbia:

"Papers of the Russian-born engineer, chemist, and inventor credited by 
the Soviets with inventing the first practicable incandescent light 
bulb, Aleksandr N. Lodygin, his American wife, Alma, and their 
daughters, Rita and Vera. Includes correspondence; mss. of writings, 
among them Alma Lodygin's The Story of a Brilliant Russian (100 p.) 
about her husband, a work (52 p.) by Albert Parry entitled Legendary 
Lodygin, and a handwritten text (23 p.) by A.N. Lodygin called Treatise 
on Arc Lamps and Incandescent Lamps; subject files; 
blueprints; drawings; stamps; documents; photos; and printed matter."

The curator for the  Bakhmeteff Archive at Columbia is:  Tanya 
Chebotarev (212) 854-3986.


Will you be at the SAA meeting in Washington DC?  If so, we would enjoy 
seeing you at the Science, Technology, and Health Care Roundtable
