  Electric pen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Edison's electric pen, part of a complete outfit for duplicating handwritten documents and drawings, was the first electric motor driven office appliance produced and sold in the United States.
The electric pen was the key component of a complete duplicating system, which included the pen, a cast-iron holder with a wooden insert, a wet-cell battery on a cast-iron stand, and a cast-iron flatbed duplicating press with ink roller.
The hand-held electric pen was powered by a wet cell battery, which was wired to an electric motor mounted on top of a pen-like shaft.

This money, in addition to that from his share of the partnership, provided funds for his own factory in Newark, N.J. Edison hired technicians to collaborate on inventions; he wanted an "invention factory." As many as 80 "earnest men," including chemists, physicists, and mathematicians, were on his staff.
Prior to Edison's central power station, each user of electricity needed a dynamo (generator), which was inconvenient and expensive.
Edison opened the first commercial electric station in London in 1882; in September the Pearl Street Station in New York City marked the beginning of America's electrical age.
