The four books in this series were all begun in 1871 and were initially intended to serve as a "record of ideas" about telegraph devices. They cover the periods July 1871-March 1872 and April 1874-September 1875. The early entries are by Edison; later entries are by Edison and Charles Batchelor. The notes and drawings deal with telegraphy, the electric pen, and the electromotograph.
