PURPOSES OF THE GRAMME OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
MENT OF THE VICE. PRESIDENT.
The Gramme Electrical Company, the organiza-
ton of which was announced few days ago in The
TRIBUNE, comprises the leading electric light COM
panies of New-York. The Edison Electric Light is
the only important corporation of this kind which
has refused to take part in the combination The
Board of Trustees of the Gramme Company is
made up of representatives from the Brush.
United States, American, Fuller, Weston
and Jablochkof Companies Henry l. Hoyt.
vice-presdent of the combination, said yester-
day to reporter of THE TRIBUNE that the new com
pany had been misrepresentcd by Major S. b. Eaton.
vice-presdent of the Edison Electric Light Com
pany, in interview with him published short
time ago in THE TRIBUNE.
'Major Eaton" said Mr.. Hoyt, makes the state
ment that the Gramme patent was refused by the
Edison Company and afterward purchased by the
Fuller Company, and that conceived il to DO of
great value. The facts are these: The Gramme
patent is the invention of foreigner, and
so sensible the transatlantic electricians
of its value that in Europe at the present time the
generators involving the invention of Gramme ex-
coed IN number all the rest combined. OF these
facts the Edison Company seems not to have been
appraised and while its managers investi gating
the invention and negotiating for its purchase the
Fuller Electrical Company, already aware of its
Importance, stepped III and secured the prize
Major Eaton is equally at fault with regard to
the organization aud objects of the Gramme
Charles r.. Flint, president of the United States
Electrical Company in The TRIBUNE OF July 81.
The assertion that each of the uniting companies
was to pay $4,000 to make up fund for the pur-
chase OF the Gramme patent is entirely wrong 1t
is true, that $4,000 was contributed b. each COM
pany, but for no such purpose Mr. Eaton sup
poses The Gramme patent belongs to the Fuller
Electrical Company and the combination is in no
way designed to pool the interests of the several
members. Every company in the association stands
by itself, and is at liberty to any other one
for infringing its patent rights. Major Eaton goes
on 90 lay II down as the position of his company
that the title to the patent detective and that any
infringer can use it with impunity Now, the va
hdity OF the title has been investigated by several
OF the most prominent lawyers of the country. One
of them, Clarence A. Seward, has made searching
examination OF the inventors claims ia Europe and
