Granite Geek: Sometimes old technology is still good technology

    Moses Farmer who was the co-inventor of the fire alarm system, was born in Boscawen, New Hampshire.

    What I consider his greater feat was that in 1868, eleven years before Edison patented his version of the light bulb, Moses Farmer, with a dynamo of his own invention, illuminated a room of his house (in Salem Massachusetts) for several months--this was the first known case of domestic incandescent lighting.
