Thomas Edison was known as an American inventor.
Thomas Edison, born in 1847, was a prolific inventor and businessman known for developing the phonograph in 1877, which was the first device to record and reproduce sound. In 1879, he famously created the first practical incandescent light bulb, revolutionizing electric lighting. Edison also established the first industrial research lab in Menlo Park, New Jersey, which set the stage for modern innovation practices. Throughout his life, he held over 1,000 patents, making significant contributions to various fields, including telecommunications and motion pictures.
Several chance encounters influenced Thomas Edison's spirit of invention. In 1862, he rescued a child from the train tracks As a reward, the child's father taught him telegraphy. Telegraphy skills set him on the path to some his greatest inventions afforded him the opportunity to travel, perfect his scientific experiments and start the Invention Factory. Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the telephone inspired him to experiment and improve upon the model. His meeting with Edward Muybridge led to the invention of the motion picture.
Granville T. Woods was an influential African American inventor known for his contributions to the electrical and railway industries in the late 19th century. Key events in his life include his patenting of over 60 inventions, such as the multiplex telegraph and the induction motor, which greatly improved communication and efficiency in rail transport. In 1887, he successfully sued Thomas Edison for patent infringement, affirming his rights as an inventor. Woods's achievements not only advanced technology but also paved the way for future generations of African American inventors.
i think its historica enough for him that he is being remembered for determining the charge to mass ratio e/m of electron that also proved helpful for the determinition of mass of electron,

Nikola Tesla came to the United States in 1884 with an introduction letter from Charles Batchelor to Thomas Edison: "I know two great men," wrote Batchelor, "one is you and the other is this young man." Tesla spent the next 59 years of his productive life living in New York. Tesla set about improving Edison's line of dynamos while working in Edison's lab in New Jersey. It was here that his divergence of opinion with Edison over direct current versus alternating current began. This disagreement climaxed in the war of the currents as Edison fought a losing battle to protect his investment in direct current equipment and facilities.
