3284 Harry N. Marvin, Cross Examination.
Q. I am not asking yon what yon understand. I say, please state what Edison did to the film, by reason of which you say he created the type. A. I don't know that he would have to do anything to a film to create a type. He might create a type of film in his mind without ever touching a piece of film. Inventions originate in the mind, not in material.
Q. I am not asking about what he mighi: have done. T am asking you for what he did do by reason of which you say he created the type, and therefore label it on the diagram "Edison film."

No, I think he was the first to make it.
Q. What did Edison do to make film flexible? A. I don't know that he did anything to make film flexible.
Q. Did he ever do anything to make the film transparent? A. I don't know that he did.
Q. Did he ever do anything to make the film translucent? A. I don't know that he did.
Q. Did he ever do anything to make the film like a tape, or tape-like? A. Well, I understand that he instructed the manufacturers of the raw stock to supply it to him in that form.
Q. That is, he told the manufacturers who were making it to make it in a long roll? A. I am not sure but what he
