	Joseph Swan
		Joseph Wilson Swan (1828-1914) was a physicist and chemist born in Sunderland, England[?] who is famous for his development of the light bulb.
		Swan reported success to the Newcastle Chemical Society and at a lecture in Newcastle in February 1879 he demonstrated a working lamp that utilized a carbon fibre filament.
		The most significant feature of Swan's lamp was that there was little residual oxygen in the vacuum tube to ignite the filament, thus allowing the filament was able to glow almost white-hot without catching fire.

	Sir Joseph Wilson Swan - LoveToKnow 1911
		SWAN,' 'SIR JOSEPH WILSON (1828-), English physicist and electrician, was born at Sunderland on the 31st of October 1828.
		So far back as 1860 he constructed an electric lamp with a carbon filament, which was formed by packing pieces of paper or card with charcoal powder in a crucible and subjecting the whole to a high temperature.
		The carbonized paper thus obtained he mounted in the form of a fine strip in a vacuous glass vessel and connected it with a battery of Grove's cells, which though not strong enough to raise it to complete incandescence, were sufficient to make it red-hot.

		JOSEPH SWAN was born on October 31, 1828 in Sunderland (England).
		Swan and Stearn found that if, after producing the best possible vacuum, a strong current was passed to make the filament brightly, and if the bulb was further evacuated, a fairly durable incandescent lamp was the end product.
		Swan patented a process in which nitrocellulose (made by nitrating cotton) was extruded through a fine die to form artificial fibre.

	Did Thomas Edison really invent the light bulb?
		Swan even publicly unveiled his carbon filament light bulb in New Castle, England a minimum of 10 years before Edison shocked the world with the announcement that he invented the first light bulb.
		Swan's initial findings from tinkering with carbon filament electric lighting, and his preliminary designs, appeared in an article published by Scientific American.
		Swan, however, felt quite differently, as he watched Edison line his pockets with money made from his invention, and took Edison to Court for patent infringement.

		Swan's lamps are recognized most by the famous "opposing side-pin" Swan lamp base, for which his brother Alfred was the inventor (see British Patent No. 9,185, June 19, 1884; U.S. Patent No. 313,965, Mar 17, 1885; and associated Patents of France, Belgium, Italy and Austria).
		The original Swan side pin twist-lock lamp base and socket evolved into what is now regarded as the "bayonet" base and socket, a standard for lighting in that part of the world.
		This Swan family influence is also world wide among auto makers through the universal adoption of this original mechanical arrangement.
