The phone in your pocket likely has 3 terrestrial radio transceivers and a satellite radio receiver, which are pretty much invisible to you. How did that happen? The story of radio's evolution begins with an experiment in 1886..........

Fraudsters and Charlatans: The Problem of 'Fake News' on the Radio, 1920-1930.
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed měsícem
When commercial radio came onto the scene in 1920, listeners were amazed. This new mass medium brought music, sports, religious services, and so much more into their homes for free. But amidst the singers, and the sports reports, and the religious sermons, there were also some fraudsters and charlatans. Early radio was an all-volunteer enterprise, and on many local stations, informational talks...
The Amazing History of Microelectronics

The cell phone in your pocket is really a marriage of at least three transceivers (cellular, WiFi and Bluetooth), a GPS receiver and a computer. Microelectronic technology is one of the drivers that made all this possible, and Intel alone produces over 5 billion transistors every second as part of its IC fabrication operations. How did this happen? Rochester Institute of Technology microelectro...

Sometimes the importance of a prototype isn't apparent until years after it is built, tested and then often scrapped. Two items at the Antique Wireless Museum, an early Bell Labs transistor radio prototype from 1951 and an early AT&T cellular telephone evaluation set from 1978, weren't scrapped after successful testing, instead they was rescued from the dumpster and preserved.

How we think about invention tells us a good deal about who we are and what we value as a society.

ln the mid 1930s James Millen and the National Company, Inc announced an innovation called the “Movable-Coil Tuning Unit”.

This receiver series continued to evolve and expand through WW2 and beyond with...

Fully-automatic bugs are quite scarce. Those that do exist, like the Melehan Valiant and the GHD bug, are beautiful pieces of machinery, but they are rather difficult to adjust, since the dot and dash elements are each generated by their own separate pendulum. Rich Meiss, WB9LPU, set out to design a system in which both dots and dashes were made by the same oscillating pendulum. This would perm...

Television and the Telephone get Multiplexed over Coaxial Cable and Microwave Radio in 1946

In 1946 the Bell System made this short film to explain how its carrier system was used to transmit multiplexed voice and television signals. There are still some of the original square concrete silo towers around, built at a time when a steel truss wasn't deemed stiff enough for microwaves, and today they are more likely owned by a tower company like SBA or American Tower.

Radio on the Railroads - Was This the First Mobile App?
My neighbor worked for the collins company throughout many different megers and speaks very highly of his career and the company. Mr.Hando (my neighbor) at one point was the general manager of global customer service. Genuinely one of the nicest and down to earth individuals ive ever met.
Excellent!!!Bravo!!!
My mother worked in Crypto during WW2. An Oregonian, she was trained in West Providence RI at a small College, and sent to Boston for service, living on Beacon Hill. She only spoke of her service when she saw her boss on NOVA broadcast in 1996. Only stating " our team got a UBoat, " when asking for further information about her service , she said " Ive not been released" and took secrets of her service to her grave, keeping her oath. One of the Greatest generation for sure
Now knowing Noonan had made an error of 200 miles on one trip makes me further think they went to Gardner island. Navigator error or blown off course by the storm and Gardner island was the best place to head for. One account by Captain Almon. A. Gray says the plane should have been out of fuel but there were still radio transmissions being made after that time. Were they on Gardner island? I'd say they were. G4GHB.

It was ahead of his time. Europa is populated and the relative simple construction, no hf amplifier and the metal back as antenna was good enough for most radio listeners in or near cities. Plug in and listen and it was small and portable. I was surprised there was a SW version even during ww2. The radio provided the listener with good information from the BBC or other internation SW stations during ww2. It would be interesting to see how it performs on SW. Even if you listen on MW you should be able to listen to distance station during the night. You can connect a wire antenna to the metal back.
Adding to the fact that almost all those in this film are dead, sitting next to and using x-rays probably didn't do anyone any favors. Ignorance was bliss in the 40's and 50's.
Some of the best examples of what wasn't used are to be found in the Earth Man and Science Museum in Sofia Bulgaria and specimens from the same collection are also to be found in the Paris Geology museum.
great video
What could go wrong?
A great story well told. I too grew up during the war and collected all the TRF radios stored in attics as well as buying surplus equipment by mail. In high school I worked in a radio and tv repair shop after reading the owners correspondence course texts. My upward path deviated from amateur radio when I joined the Air Force at 17. Many yeas later I returned and took all the exams and passed all three steps in a year. KC3VJJ

Its upsides and downsides will be determined by how we use it, and how we regulate it. Might be a blessing, might be a curse.
Very useful and perhaps very dangerous. Interesting topic. Thank you for the video.
Very similar to Atomic energy. Imagine for a moment how things might be different today if Hitler, or the Japanese got there first!!!

I noticed on these finished UK TVs they have a plastic window in front of the CRT but in the US they didn't do that. Why?
I have never seen these stand alone SC speakers. They must be very rare. Does anyone have a pair? How do they sound?

Hey Curt, watched your video and my observation is that sort of at the end of the song it seemed that 2 of the lower jets became much stronger & constant. I am a generalist of sorts & take a big eyed approach to things. Thus I am thinking that the coil has been so influenced by Hendrix’s supreme display of resonance that the coil got excited & corresponded with the 2 jets displaying over exuberance. David
In 1962 I was in the 2ndBG/12th Infantry, !st ID. We used this with the KW-7 cypher machine. We could encrypt/decrypt teletype in line. We sent using the Tape reader. When you typed a message a perforated tape was made. You put the tape in the reader, pushed a button and it would encrypt and send it faster than you could type.
That is a great, concise explanation of how it worked. Thanks.
I was fortunate to meet Mr. Gable and other members of the AWA about a month before this video was posted, and he gave me a tour of the museum. I mentioned my dad was a Bell Labs MTS, and that he brought home all kinds of goodies from the dumpster. Ed said with a smile, "then you'll be interested in a few things we have here," and he showed me these two items. The AWA is an amazing museum - highly recommended.
Very nice presentation and backs up TIGHAR information. Only one 2 second mistake, shows a ship Radioman using an R-390 receiver during the radio searches. That radio came online in 1951 :-)
What a magical tale, a very fulfilling life so far. Thank you for telling the tale ❤.
Glad you enjoyed it!
