Really old boatanchors - A Q about the age of spark

Richard Knoppow wrote: "Al Dykes" wrote in message ... I'm looking for some reading material about radio from the earliest days up to the end of WWI and how it was used during the war. I've just reading a history of the Russian-Japanese war (1904). It was entirely a naval war, Russia sent it's entire fleet from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Russian coast. Radio played a roll but the book didn't give me an idea of range or any of the equipment. Radio was always described as unreliable. It got me to wondering about WWI. Can anyone recommend a book or a web site? One excellent source is History of Communications-Electronics in the United States Navy, by Captain Linwood S. Howeth, USN (Retired) published by the U.S.Government Printing Office (1963). A HTML version of this is available at: http://earlyradiohistory.us/1963hw.htm But I think I was able to download a PDF version from the web. This book is also an excellent source of history of the formation of RCA. It also has an extensive bibliography. TNX |
