16 EDTSON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY, JANUARY, 1915 Battery Building also greatly facilitates resumption of business. Here the necessary shafting is readily placed fn position because suitable bolts were imbedded in the cement ceilings at the time the building was constructed. The heating and lighting facilities also are of the best, so that the work can go on day and night under most favorable conditions. All contracts for rebuilding and repairing have been placed in excellent hands, and these concerns are working with redoubled energy to accomplish their tasks in the shortest possible space of time. WHERE THE DEPARTMENTS AND OFFICIALS ARE LOCATED All the departments of Thomas A. Edison, Inc., formerly housed in the Administration Building, are located now, with the exception of four, in the Edison Storage Battery Building, directly opposite.
