Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents(專利) on inventions than any other American.
When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him. One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total black-out. All electric power would be shut off in homes, streets and factories.
Perhaps this suggestion made Americans realize futly what Edison and his inventions meant to them. Electric power was too important to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion. A black-out was out of the question.
On the day of Edison's funeral, many people silently dimmed their lights. In this way they honored the man who had done more than anyone else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen's fingertips.

The keyboard of a typewriter refers to the set of keys in it. Most typewriters have "qwerty" key-boards. The name comes from the first six letters on the board's second line. The "qwerty" board was set up by C. L. Sholes, who was the first man to make a really good typewriter.
Some letters, such as S and T, are used together a great deal in English. Sholes placed such pairs of letter far apart on his keyboard. This made it harder for typists to learn the keyboard. But it helped keep typewriters from jamming. On early machines the bars holding the letters often caught on each other when moving quickly.
Sholes made the name of his machine easy to type. He placed on the same line all the letters of the word "type" and "writer".
