EDM maybe very old aka { Electrical discharge machining spark erosion }
The erosive effect of electrical discharges was first noted in 1770 by English physicist Joseph Priestley.
EDM was for machining around the 1940's . Before the 1940's they used sand / grit and ground down the part.??
I do not know about tap removal the first ad I found was in 1950's. It is downloaded section.??

Good stuff.
There is a huge amount of technology out there.
I'm still in the age of simple machining and napkin design. No edm, CAD, mill power feed, CNC, etc. 8^)
