Walter Miller started to work at the West Orange Laboratory as an apprentice when he was seventeen. It was soon after the laboratory was opened. Many of his colleagues later moved on, leaving the work at West Orange, but Miller stayed on throughout his career.
Miller proved his merit at many different jobs, but his reputation was as an expert in sound recording. He served as manager of the Recording Department, and was in charge of the New York City studio where recordings were made. At the same time he did further experiments on recording, and acquired several patents on duplicating records, with Jonas Aylsworth. He retired from Edison’s company in 1937, a lively mucker to the end.
