The forms were nickel-plated cast iron.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.scientificamerican.com&amp;#x2F;article&amp;#x2F;edisons-system-of-concrete-houses&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.scientificamerican.com&amp;#x2F;article&amp;#x2F;edisons-system-of...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

I&amp;#x27;m very curious about the concrete bath fixtures, but can&amp;#x27;t seem to find anything online that definitively shows the inside of an Edison concrete home. It&amp;#x27;s also interesting to see this in light of all the news recently about 3D printed concrete and how there are many of the same challenges now that Edison must have had to deal with then. Plumbing, electrical, insulation, and so forth all have to be incorporated into the design or tacked on afterward.</text></comment>
