Abstract
In 1809 Sir Humphrey Davy demonstrated before the Royal Society, London, that an arc light could be produced by touching two sticks of carbon connected to a 2000-cell electric battery. It is estimated that it cost six dollars a minute to operate this forerunner of modern electric illumination.
