Interesting that the invention of the lighting system was a Mr Lane Fox. There’s a descendant I think who started up an internet company in the U.K., and together with her brother are in the House of Lords here in the U.K. now.
Awesome detail and explanation. Wonder if the 4 batteries were as centrally located to all the lights as possible, or if that even mattered.
Yeah
Wow todays money about 3k dollars. Oo
