Daniel William Clarke (25 Sep 1898 - 5 Jul 1976) was a WWI Army Veteran and a planner for General Electric, Schenectady, NY. These letters were sent to Daniel during his schooling at Andover Phillips Academy. Daniel was the son of Edna Florence Thurston Clarke (26 Aug 1881 -- 15 Jul 1969 ) and Charles L. Clarke (1853-1841), colleague of Thomas A. Edison in the pioneering days of electrical engineering. Clarke was one of the few men present when Edison opened the world's first electric generating plant for electric light operation on Pearl St., New York, in 1882. Clarke in 1881 was appointed chief engineer by Edison of the Edison Electric Light Company, supervised the mechanical engineering involved in establishing the Edison system and was the designer of much of the equipment used. Clarke joined the staff of the General Electric Company at Schenectady in 1913 and served as consulting engineer and research specialist until his retirement in 1931. Daniel's other correspondent William Joseph Jenks another Edison associate. In the Spring of 1883, when construction began at Brockton's generating plant, Jenks was named as its superintendent. Eventually, he was was director of the standardizing bureau at Edison Electric Light Co. These early years of the Edison work were memorialized in "Six Years' Practical Experience with the Edison Chemical Meter" by W. J. Jenks; published in Transactions of the Americ Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1 February 1889.
