July 2019

Hello, I'm DVdm. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Electromagnet— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. DVdm (talk) 19:29, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Joseph Henry. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. DVdm (talk) 19:30, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for edit. Id like to add some information to -Electromagnet- that is more focused than my first rather sloppy attempt.

It is true the use of electromagnets in telegraph was important. But I do think it makes sense to inform readers that Henry himself is credited with the first electrical product. 
I'll hold off editing -Joseph Henry- . The story of the blacksmiths motor [Thomas Davenport] and the circumstances of his acquisition of Henrys early version electromagnet needs more work.

***  For his experiments Professor Henry bought small quantities of the ore magnetite from New York's [***]  where magnetized iron spikes on a drum combed through powdered iron ore, the purest iron stuck to the spikes. After he sent some steel points to Henry to be more permanently magnetized with Henry's electromagnet, mine owner Allen Penfield requested from Henry an electromagnet with attached voltaic battery to be used at the mine to recharge the ore separators iron quills when needed. This was the first commercial electrical product.  ***
