Compared with the silent modern apparatus, wireless in those days was a crude affair. It still relied on the old telegraph system of interrupting the electric current to create a signal at the other end. Wireless ma.de an electric spark jumb across a gap; that spark had the same effect as a stone thrown into a quiet If>nd. It created edectro-magnetic waves which spread in every direction from the point of origin at the speed of light, 186,000 miles pre second. A long spark made a dash on the receiving apparatus; a short spark made a dot. Various combinations of dots and dashes spelled various letters jof the alphabet, just as they did when sent over a telegraph wire. The international distress signal SOS was adopted because of its simplicity, S being represented by three dots and 0 by two dashes. The original wireless receiving ap~ paratus was just as crude as the sparking, cracklin sender. Its main part consisted of a glass tube filled with tiny metal filings. The tube was sealed with metal caps at both ends and wires ran into these caps. When the filings were lying undisturbed, helterskelter, no current could pass through them a.nd the wires were dead. But when an electro-magnetic wa.ve coming thrk>ug the ether got into the glass tube, it neatly arranged the metal filings end to end and presto! they formed a conductor through which an electric current could flow. That current made the dot or dash while it lasted. As soon as it stopped, the tube was tapped automatically with a little hammer, the filings fell apart and got ready fpr the next set of radio waves. Maxwell had predicted, Hertz had demonstrated the radio waves; Eng- lisb and French scientists had discovered the coherer. Young Marcom put them together, made them do useJ.U1 woz·k and patented the combinac.ion when he was only 22. The next year he sold his patents on the newly J.prmed British Wireless Telegraph Co. .:or $75,000 in cash and $300,VOO in .stock which later became worth milJ.ions. Not bad for a college boy only tour years out of his teens. But Marconi never lost his head. VVhen wireless captured the public .magination as its mysterious signals, l.lasaing across hunareds pf miles ot .Jtot·m-tossed sea, brought rescue to ~teamers sinking far from land, when 0very passenger ship was compelled uy law to carry wtreless apparatus .l.Dd add to the pro.tits of his company, ne kept on pleading quietly, improved uis apparatus, inet'eased its effective L'ange and said very little. But his company got intp trouble when, like its American successor c:.wenty years later, it endeavored to use its patent control and c01nmercial dominance to tell its competitors and foreign governments where they headed in. The European and American navies, in response to the Marq:>ni Company's selling efforts, decided to install Marconi wireless apparatus. Commercial vessels could not buy, only lease Marconi machines, which had to be operated by Marconi men. Obviously no navy would tolerate ~oreign operators in its vital communications service. rhe Marconi company finally decided on an outright sale of apparatus to foreign navies, but the terms of this sale contract were considered outrageously onerous that the European and A.mericalf navies declined to buy and prj:>ceeded to encourage the development of wireless apparatue by their own nations. And that's how the American navy got into the radio business. EAST MIDVALE mary children. Greeting, Bishop R. H. A sacred pageant, "The Clayton.
