- Sisters of Edison Engineer John Kruesi at Ford Exposition, New York World's Fair, 1939 - Ford Motor Company executives knew that only 1 in 5 Americans would attend the 1939-40 New York World's Fair. They planned for even fewer to visit the Ford exposition, and allocated more than $300,000 to publicize Ford's involvement at the fair. To ensure national coverage, the Ford exhibit's Press Department distributed photographs of prominent visitors to thousands of publications across the country.

- Menlo Park Machine Shop - The presence of a machine shop (and of foreman / head machinist John Kruesi) was fundamental to the success of Menlo Park. This well-equipped facility -- built to replace the small machine shop originally installed in the laboratory -- enabled Edison and his associates to not only rapidly prototype iterations of experimental devices but also facilitate their eventual, profitable manufacture.

- Experimental Electric Locomotive Built by Thomas Edison at Menlo Park, N.J., 1880 - This experimental machine built by Thomas Edison represented an early American attempt to design a non-battery electric locomotive. Fed by electricity sent through the rails, the locomotive operated over a three-mile track at Edison's Menlo Park, New Jersey, laboratory, hauling passengers at speeds up to 40 mph. The locomotive and two cars were given to The Henry Ford in 1929.

- Thomas Edison - He was, at heart, a tinkerer. Small wonder, then, that he and Henry Ford saw one another as kindred spirits. Edison, of course, was much older, born 16 years before Ford.
