Scope and Contents

The glass plate negatives are approximately 8 x 10 inches, and bear negative numbers handwritten at the bottom. These negatives were clearly understood by the Coxe company as part of a set of records for internal company use, and were numbered to enable their retrieval. It is important to note that some negatives that might seem like a logical series with the incremental construction of a breaker are not necessarily numbered consecutively. The negatives are not strictly business matters. Some depict people, and even a model train. Some of the glass plate negatives are smaller and unlabeled with negative numbers, but because of content and because they were found grouped together with the Coxe holdings they seem to belong with the other Coxe negatives.
