Author Description

Excerpt from A History of Wireless Telegraphy: Including Some Bare-Wire Proposals for Subaqueous Telegraphs At the outset of my task I was met with the difficulty of arranging my materials - whether in simple chronological order, or classified under heads, as Conduction, Induction, Wave, and Other or Miscellaneous Methods. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but after consideration I decided to follow in the main the chronological order as the better of the two for a history which is intended to be a simple record of what has been done or attempted in the last sixty years by the many experimenters who have attacked the problem or contributed in any way to its solution.
