Challenging Marconi, Spanning the Atlantic Early 1900s Wireless Radio Telegraphy

Description: RECENTLY PUBLISHED - 134 pages, hardback, high-quality, fully illustrated, colour. Author: Ian L. Sanders.Winner of the Antique Wireless Association Award for original research.Describes the story of an attempt by the Universal Radio Syndicate to upstage the Marconi Company in establishing a telegraphic wireless service between Europe (Ballybunion in Ireland) and North America (Newcastle, New Brunswick.) The early history of transatlantic wireless communications is largely dominated by the achievements of Guglielmo Marconi. This book sets out to chronicle attempts to compete with the Marconi Company and focuses on one such bid. The Universal Radio Company led by one Arthur Baxendale went head-to-head with Marconi and the spark system of transmission using the Poulsen arc technology developed by the Danish inventor, Valdemar Poulsen. It ultimately failed, but the story is part of the frenetic history of wireless telegraphy in the first decades of the twentieth-century.Drawing on primary source materials and with an emphasis on the character behind the Syndicate, Arthur Salisbury Baxendale, this book documents the man, the organisation and the arc technology used in the attempt, with a review of previous efforts to bridge the Atlantic by wireless.________Marconi Era Wireless, Wireless Telegraphy, Radio Telephony, Arc Generator, Poulsen Arc, Spark Transmitter, Cable Telegraph, Submarine Cable, Pacific Cable Board, Radio Communications, Atlantic Telegraph, Continuous Wave Transmission, Air Mail Service,
