Marconi would later admit to Braun himself that he had " borrowed " portions of Braun's work.

Braun went to the United States at the beginning of World War I ( before the U. S. had entered the war ) to help defend the German wireless station at Sayville, New York, against attacks by the British-controlled Marconi Corporation.

The Army and the Navy granted RCA the former American Marconi radio terminals that had been confiscated during the War.

In the early 1900s, Guglielmo Marconi, Lord Kelvin, and David Peck Todd also stated their belief that radio could be used to contact Martians, with Marconi stating that his stations had also picked up potential Martian signals.

On 3 November 1936, from Alexandra Palace located on the high ground of the north London ridge, the BBC began alternating Baird 240-line transmissions with EMI's electronic scanning system which had recently been improved to 405 lines after a merger with Marconi.

Accused of speculating in Marconi shares on the inside information that they were about to be awarded a key government contract ( which would have caused them to increase in value ), he told the House of Commons that he had not speculated in the shares of " that company ", which was not the whole truth as he had in fact speculated in shares of Marconi's American sister company.

( Cotogni and Marconi had sung together in the first London performance of Amilcare Ponchielli's La Gioconda in 1883, performing the roles of Barnaba and Enzo respectively.

Fessenden began limited radio experimentation, and soon came to the conclusion that he could develop a far more efficient system than the spark-gap transmitter and coherer-receiver combination which had been championed by Oliver Lodge and Marconi.

However, many in the Air Ministry did not believe that the system was actually in use, and Frederick Lindemann, leading scientific adviser to the government, claimed that any such system would not be able to follow the curvature of the Earth, though T S Eckersley of the Marconi company had claimed it could.

After the first successful transatlantic radio communication in 1901 to his station at Signal Hill, Newfoundland, Guglielmo Marconi learned that the Anglo-American Cable Company had a monopoly on transatlantic telegraphy from Newfoundland, so he planned to move to a new location in the United States.

She has also starred in the musicals directed by Saverio Marconi The Sound of Music ( playing the role of Maria von Trapp ) and Cabaret ( playing the role of Sally Bowles ); both had great success in Italy.

The simplest valve was invented by John Ambrose Fleming while working for the Marconi Company in London in 1904 and named the diode, as it had two electrodes.

At the age of 14, Kewell traveled to Thailand, Italy and England with the successful Marconi under-14 team that had recently won the state titles.

Bride, who had to be carried off the Carpathia because of his injuries to his feet ( one was badly sprained, the other frostbitten ), was met in New York City by Guglielmo Marconi and The New York Times, which gave Bride $ 1, 000 for his exclusive story, " Thrilling Story by Titanic's Surviving Wireless Man ".

An American named Lee de Forest, a competitor to Marconi, set about to develop receiver technology that did not infringe any patents to which Marconi had access.

By the early 1920s, Marconi had established a department dedicated to public address and began producing loudspeakers and amplifiers to match a growing demand.

In the end Marconi had to purchase Dolbear's patent, primarily because it was:

Since the Psychology Today article gave the experiments wide publicity, Milgram, Kochen, and Karinthy all had been incorrectly attributed as the origin of the notion of " six degrees "; the most likely popularizer of the phrase " six degrees of separation " is John Guare, who attributed the value " six " to Marconi.

However, installations belonging to the post Office and the Marconi Company, as well as private individuals who had access to radio equipment, began recording messages from Germany.

Captain Round working for Marconi had been carrying out experiments for the army in France and Hall instructed him to build a direction finding system for the navy.

The satellite was to be built at Marconi Space and Defence Systems at Portsmouth Airport, at which a new high security building had been built.

Even Marconi staff only found out about this when it closed down.

The investigation is expected by Newhaven Local & Maritime Museum to include not only the tide mill, but also to record the entire East Beach site: Mills, Railway Station, Nurses Home, Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital, Newhaven Seaplane Base and the later holiday homes and the Newhaven Marconi Radio Station of 1904.

* A more modern triangular ( Bermuda or " Marconi ") sail has only one halyard which is attached at its uppermost point ( the head ).

III, contracted by Marconi Company for experiments with aerial wireless radio, was only partially built.

In August 1998 GEC acquired Siemens ' 40 % stake in GPT ( by now only exist as a legal entity ); and merged GPT with the telecoms units of its other subsidiaries namely-Marconi SpA, GEC Hong Kong and ATC South Africa to form Marconi Communications.

In 2002 Matra BAe Dynamics joined Aerospatiale Matra Missiles ( the other half of Matra's missile business ) and Alenia Marconi Systems ( missile division only ) to form MBDA.

The station has one of the longest radio histories in the world, surpassed only by the Marconi companies.

A radio nicknamed " Marconi ", which only works intermittently, brings 1930s dance and traditional Irish folk music into the home at rather random moments and then equally randomly ceases to play.

A few yards away from the historic Marconi hut Penarth's only World War II Royal Observer Corps ( ROC ) observation post stood on the cliff edge with its clear views over the Bristol Channel and the islands of Steep Holm and Flat Holm.

The Marconi Rig defines only the way a mast is supported.

At the time of the acquisition Ericsson announced that they would be rebranding Marconi assets Ericsson and retaining Marconi only as the name of the Italian research facility.

Hull has therefore remained an exception within the UK telephone network, being the only place in the UK not served by BT and is noted for its distinctive cream coloured telephone boxes and innovative services, for example becoming the UK's first fully digital network in 1989 using Marconi System X telephone switches ( Central Offices or Class 5 switches ).

In August 1998 GEC acquired Siemens ' 40 % stake in GPT ( by now only exist as a legal entity ); and merged GPT with the telecoms units of its other subsidiaries namely-Marconi SpA, GEC Hong Kong and ATC South Africa to form Marconi Communications.

Ethnic minorities were instrumental in establishing the National Soccer League, which lasted from 1977 to 2004 as Australia's top-flight competition, however clubs such as South Melbourne, Sydney Olympic, Sydney United, Adelaide City and Marconi could only draw fans from the ethnic group which they originated from.

Sydney United is located in Edensor Park and play out of King Tomislav Club which is only 1 km south of Club Marconi.

The station was owned and operated by the Marconi Radio Company and achieved regular ship to shore radio communications in approximately 1912.

The Marconi Consolidation Programme of the early 1980s finally produced the Mod 2 with reliability improved to 80 %, which the Royal Navy accepted as the best that could be achieved with a basic design that was incapable of further development.

In 1896, George Kemp and Guglielmo Marconi experimented with wireless telegraphy on Salisbury Plain, and achieved good results over a distance of.

On 14 February 1922, which was two years after ceasing their original transmissions, the Marconi Company was issued a licence for experimental transmissions under the call sign 2MT.

In 1897, following wireless transmissions from Lavernock Point in Wales and Flat Holm, Guglielmo Marconi moved his equipment to Brean Down and set a new distance record for wireless transmission.

Marconi later used the site for his shortwave experiments, with transmissions by Charles Samuel Franklin to Marconi on the yacht Elettra in the Cape Verde Islands in 1923 and in Beirut in 1924.

In 1897, following wireless transmissions from Lavernock Point in Wales and Flat Holm, Guglielmo Marconi moved his equipment to Brean Down and set a new distance record for wireless transmission over open sea.

* Guglielmo Marconi, wireless pioneer, lived on Whyteladyes Lane, and is reputed to have conducted experimental transmissions from there in 1897.
