- Edison Type K Bipolar Dynamo, Used at Grinnell Mills, 1882 - Thomas Edison began producing equipment to meet users' electrical power needs after his successful experiments with electricity generation and transmission. The Edison Machine Works in New York City manufactured various direct-current dynamos for commercial use in the early 1880s. Grinnell Manufacturing Company in New Bedford, Massachusetts, purchased this six-field-coil Type K dynamo (one of several) in 1882 to light its facilities.

- Edison Jumbo Dynamo, 1882 - Edison's successful lighting experiments at his Menlo Park laboratory in 1879 bore fruit in the practical system he put into operation in New York City, at the center of which was the Pearl Street power station. This is the sole surviving engine-generator from that installation, and it was the first to go online providing power to customers on September 4th, 1882.

- Edison L-Type Bipolar Dynamo, Used at the Arnold Print Works, 1882 - Thomas Edison began producing equipment to meet users' electrical power needs after his successful experiments with electricity generation and transmission. The Edison Machine Works in New York City manufactured this Type L direct-current dynamo with four field coils--a larger variant of its two-field-coil Type Z--for commercial use in the early 1880s. The Arnold Print Works in Massachusetts purchased this dynamo to light its facilities.

- Edison Dynamo, Type Z, circa 1882 - After Thomas Edison's successful experimentation with electricity generation and transmission, he began production of equipment to meet a variety of users' electrical power needs. Edison's Type Z direct-current dynamos, built at the Edison Machine Works in New York City, were among the earliest manufactured for commercial use. The Harding Jones Paper Company installed this dynamo, serial number 13, at its facilities in Middletown, Ohio.
