[CK918]

This folder contains correspondence, agreements, and other documents covering the period 1908-1912, with a few additional items from 1913 and 1915. Most of the letters are by Frank L. Dyer and George F. Scull of the Edison Manufacturing Co.; Thomas Graf, general manager of Compagnie Français du Phonographe Edison; and Léon Gaumont, managing director of Société des Établissements Gaumont in Paris. The documents relate to contract negotiations; the use of Eastman Kodak film; and relations between the Gaumont firm and George Kleine of Chicago.

Approximately 40 percent of the documents have been selected. The unselected material consists mainly of sales records.
