The text of this “philosophical dialogue,” “philosophical novel,” or whatever label one may set on this tragic tale is drawn from the notebook of a recent student at the University of North Caroli- na at Wilmington. The notebook was first recovered by fisherman Thomas Marian following a recent tropical storm that struck the Carolinas. Mr. Marian found the brown-covered notebook down by the fishing piers, wrapped in plastic to keep the water out, tied together with repurposed elastic cord of the sort one might find tucked about somewhere in many basements or garages.

    PUBLIC COLLECTORS Records Collection Inventory of: Marc Fischer Chicago, IL, USA About PUBLIC COLLECTORS Public Collectors consists of informal agreements where collectors allow the contents of their collection to be published and permit those who are curious to directly experience the objects in person. Participants must be willing to type up an inventory of their collection, provide a means of contact and share their collection with the public. Collectors can be based in any geographic location. Public Collectors is founded upon the concern that there are many types of cultural artifacts that public libraries, museums and other institutions and archives either do not collect or do not make freely accessible. Public Collectors asks individuals that have had the luxury to amass, organize, and inventory these materials to help reverse this lack by making their collections public. The purpose of this project is for large collections of materials to become accessible so that knowledge, ideas and expertise can be freely shared and exchanged. Public Collectors is not intended, nor should it be used for buying and selling objects. There are many preexisting venues for that. Collectors can accommodate viewers at whatever location is most com - fortable or convenient for them. If their collection is portable or can be viewed in a location other than the collector’s home, this would still be an appropriate way to participate in the project. In addition to hosting collection inventories and other information, www.publiccollectors.org includes digital collections that are suitable for web presentation, do not have a physical material analog, or are difficult or impossible to experience otherwise.

  • From Spark to Speech – the Birth of Wireless Telephony
    Feature From Spark to Speech – the birth of wireless telephony he history of voice before valves is one of the most fascinating Tadventures that unfolded during the embryonic years of our hobby. As we tune across the crowded HF amateur bands with a sensitive modern communications receiver, it’s difficult to imagine the eerie hush that the set would have captured if we were magically transported back some 120 years. In parts of the spectrum, it would have picked up the cosmic noise that has pervaded space since the beginning of time; and crashes of distant lightning strikes and local precipitation static would have punctuated that constant hiss. But near centres of population the electrical noise from arc lamps, switches, leaking insulators and the first electric streetcars would have revealed that man was beginning to harness the new form of energy that would change the world. In 1865, Clerk Maxwell had formulated the classical theoretical foundation for the understanding of electromagnetic waves, and by 1888 Heinrich Hertz had confirmed the existence of such waves and measured their A simple Righi-style spark transmitter at Salvan in Switzerland, where Marconi carried out properties, using spark gap transmitters with successful tests at a range of 1.5km in 1895. In 1897, Rodolfo Lonardi proposed to send speech frequencies between about 50 and 500MHz. by modulating the positions of the spark spheres. But Hertz thought that his work had no practical use, and it was left to Guglielmo Marconi, Oliver Lodge, William Preece, Reginald Fessenden, Lee de Forest, Karl Braun and others to pursue the application of these discoveries to the first practical systems of long distance radio communication.

  • The Radio Amateur's Hand Book
    THE RADIO AMATEUR'S HAND BOOK A. Frederick Collins, Inventor of the Wireless Telephone, 1899. Awarded Gold Medal for same, Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, 1909. THE RADIO AMATEUR'S HAND BOOK A Complete, Authentic and Informative Work on Wireless Telegraphy and Telephony BY FREDERICK COLLINS Inventor of the Wireless Telephone 1899; Historian of Wireless 1901-1910; Author of "Wireless Telegraphy" 1905 1922 TO WILLIAM MARCONI INVENTOR OF THE WIRELESS TELEGRAPH INTRODUCTION Before delving into the mysteries of receiving and sending messages without wires, a word as to the history of the art and its present day applications may be of service. While popular interest in the subject has gone forward by leaps and bounds within the last two or three years, it has been a matter of scientific experiment for more than a quarter of a century. The wireless telegraph was invented by William Marconi, at Bologna, Italy, in 1896, and in his first experiments he sent dot and dash signals to a distance of 200 or 300 feet. The wireless telephone was invented by the author of this book at Narberth, Penn., in 1899, and in his first experiments the human voice was transmitted to a distance of three blocks. The first vital experiments that led up to the invention of the wireless telegraph were made by Heinrich Hertz, of Germany, in 1888 when he showed that the spark of an induction coil set up electric oscillations in an open circuit, and that the energy of these waves was, in turn, sent out in the form of electric waves.

  • Continuous Waves in Long-Distance Radio- Telegraphy
    Presented at the 307th meeting of the A merican Institute of Electrical Engineers, New York, April 9, 1915. Copyright 1915, By A. I. E. E. CONTINUOUS WAVES IN LONG-DISTANCE RADIO- TELEGRAPHY BY L. F. FULLER ABSTRACT OF PAPER Ability to predetermine the probable normal daylight sending radius of high-powered radiotelegraphic stati ons is of prime importance in their design. The theoretical transmission equations for both continuous and damped waves are discussed and the empirical formulas for the latter are given. Experiments with continuous waves over a period of six months between San Francisco and Honolulu, a distance of 2100 nautical miles (3880 km.), are described, and an empirical for- mula for the calculation of probable sending radius with such waves is proposed. This is checked by experiments between Tuckerton, N. J., and Honolulu, 4330 nautical miles (8000 km.). Curves giving the energy received at Honolulu from San Francisco under both day and night conditions are shown, and the effects of changes in wave length upon transmission efficiency are discussed. Evidence strengthening theories of the reflection, refraction and interference of Hertzian waves in long-distance transmissions, and experimental data showing interference bands not over 18 miles in width, are given. The great value of easy and rapid changes in wave length, especially at night, is apparent from the curves. Final conclusions drawn from a comparison of the empirical transmission formulas for continuous and for damped waves are that the transmission efficiency of continuous waves is some- what higher than that of damped waves on wave lengths of ap- proximately 3000 m.
