質問: 和訳お願いします while the new lamp and its system were being exhibited at menlo park(and that continued for months),edison made a final exhaustive search for a raw material that would be more dense and homogeneous.he said,'in god's almighty warehouse there must certainly be such a material -we have only to hunt for it.' books on botany and catalogs were studied;hughes,our purchasing agent,was sent to new york with a list of materials to purchase.day by day he brought back packages of samples.he called on whosesale drug companies,agents of foreign firms,museums,colleges,and consuls of foreign nations in effort to get almost everything in the vegetable kingdom.he also brought samples from the animal world,such as hoofs,hides,horns,and hair.botany professors sent in contributions when it leaked out that edison was making a last search for a better raw material. it would be tedious to name the differnt kinds of woods,grasses,plants,and hair,human and animal,that were tried.yes,we even plucked the red whiskers of a scottish guest at menlo park and the black ones of a swiss and made bets on which would prove the better filament.as the thousands of samples came to menlo park,edison examined each under his old verdigris-covered microscope.those found acceptable for further trials were laid aside,while others that didn't possess the qualities he desired were consigned to the stve.carbonizing blowing the glass parts,exhausting the air,and,testing continued day and night.
回答: ddeanaです。ふと思ったのですが、もし >consigned to the stve のstveが、stoveであったならば、「彼が望んだ品質を有さなかった他の物は、ストーブの燃料に回された」という訳になりますので、お知らせします。
