Kind of obvious that the engraver did, for he personally engraved the 
medal, and the dime shows the same hand.

Edison himself personally with his own hands built the prototype for the 
first light bulb that was sufficiently useful and sufficiently buildable 
that people could and did buy it to light their facilities, which light 
bulb was substantially based on the work of Swan, who also built 
prototypes with his own hands.  The first light bulbs that you could 
actually buy were produced by a company owned and run by Edison and 
Swan, and everyone who actually built the early light bulbs that were 
actually sold learned how to build them at the feet of Edison and Swan.

Just as the first junction transistor was built by Shockley with his own 
hands, and every single person in the entire world today who builds 
transistors learned at the feet of someone who learned at the feet of 
someone who learned at the feet ... of Shockley.  The art of building 
modern electronic devices has been one hundred percent transmitted by 
personal apprenticeship and hands on training.

 From Shockley's company came the traitorous eight, who founded 
Fairchild.  From Fairchild came the Fairchildren, who founded Silicon 
Valley.
