Pioneers of Radio
“QEh’STED (1820) (irst showed that there is such a thing as electromagnetism and induction. Ampere followed with more discoveries. Then
came the mighty Faraday, with discoveries of electro-magnetic coils. He was followed by Henry and Lord Kelvin," writes Mr. Sidney B. Malley, B.Se., F.R.A.S., in the London Star.
“ Professor James Clerk Maxwell (1.865) discovered mathematically the existence of ether waves. Hertz (ISSS) sent the first wireless signals and detected them on a simple frame aerial with a spark gap. Hranly (France), Sir Oliver Lodge, and Professor Ernest Rutherford all made improved detectors and tuning apparatus. “Colonel Dunwoody (United States of America) invented the crystal detector. Sir Ambrose Fleming introduced the first wireless valve. De Forrest improved it by adding a grid. “Marconi did not ‘invent’ wireless, neither did he ‘discover ’ it.”
