- This show is about my Grandfather, Lee deForest. At the shot of his Grandchildren, I'm on the lower left. I was 9 at the time. Please enjoy! There are even some 1957 commercials on this.

How fabulous to see this film. My Grandfather was Lee deForest's first employee in using the Telegraph system. Dr. deForest was very close to my Grandfather and Grandmother. So glad to see this. Thx.
bro the way they talk then was so pleasing to hear..
ARMSTRONG DESERVES THAT CREDIT YOU HACK FRUADS!
Without Edison and his Edison effect voltmeter diode (a primitive vacuum tube), Fleming and his take on Edison's volt meter, which he called a valve, Deforest and his enhancement of Fleming's valve, the first triode, and Armstrong and his enhancement with positive feedback amplification of deForest's triode we wouldn't. have our technology. It's all a series of connections and improvements in the vast network of human thought and achievement.
That's just a few people. There are so many others that inspired or helped and so forth.
A wonderful reminder of the birth of of an era.
superb, thank you for allowing us to see the great man! What he invented was crucial for electronics to do what it can now, amazing!
He stole other folks ideas
What a superb setting to remember the life of deForest, a key person associated in the first use of vacuum tubes and from which evolved Radio and everything developed from it.
oh my goodness, this is really something! thank you for posting this video! it made me cry.
awesome! thanks for sharing this John!
AWESOME! Thanks for posting this!
Your grandfather invented some really cool technology!
He basically stole it all...

I used to think that but he stole other folks ideas

Fantastic! 73 DE W8LV BILL
Buddy ur grandfather was an legend. Loved this video. Love from India.
My living history character, Charles Ross Taggart, was a former classmate of Mr. deForest from their days at the Mt. Hermon School. Taggart, a musical humorist, appeared in one of Lee's Phono-Films, c. 1924. I wrote a book about Mr. Taggart (The Man from Vermont: Charles Ross Taggart, The Old Country Fiddler). So glad to see this!
I gave a biographical speech on Lee de Forest for a sixth-grade class.
Thank you very much
This is pretty amazing.
thanks for posting this video he was my great uncle my father is a deforest I didn't take the family name as my mother raised me but its heritage like that that makes me think twice but my mothers name is connected to engineers as well Royce I really enjoyed the video
I was hoping to hear more bout the first electronic keyboard, the Audion Piano (1915). btw that handshake from Dr. Elisha Jones, it's like "The Great Buck Howard."
I am doing a project on Lee de Forest for National History Day. I was wondering if I could use some of the films from your CZcams channel. I will make sure to give you credit for providing the videos.
Hi many many thanks for this video i love Dr Lee Deforest !! i have collection of all radio and scientifiques instruments and i have pictures of him with letter and his autograph . i have a wonderfull picture of him with the audion on his hands !!.
Please have you got pictures or others for sale from him ?
Many thanks it s a big pleasure for me !!. bests regards jeremy
Where is the rest of the program?
Mr Wagner, might you have any old photographs of the men he worked with? Particularly of Herbert Van Etten?
Upload full video of this
John, is there a way I can get a copy of this video to use in a presentation on de Forest. Let me know
The irony is that the transistor came about by de Forest adding random wires into other peoples’ patents in order to rip them off. It’s usefulness went completely unnoticed by de Forest. The guy was a crook and a narcissist - he was convinced he was a genius (with little or no justification). Despite all this he was one of the key (perhaps instrumental) figures that contributed to the deliver radio as we know it.
Adding to your comments, Major Edwin Howard Armstrong took de Forest's Audion and FIGURED OUT HOW IT WORKED (de Forest had no idea of how the Audion worked). Armstrong took the Audion and developed circuitry that amplified signals and also that could generate radio frequency signals. I always try to give credit where it is due. Thank you.
Is that fucking Bob Barker at the start?!?!? I swear to god hearing him talk about Comet brought me back to the Price is Right...
Coursera anyone?
From the Civil War era!

That woman should really be wearing gloves when scrubbing with Comet
