Many large companies entered the wireless telegraph trade between 1910 -1920, inspiring the invention & discovery of various circuits and apparatus. Wireless telephony developers heralded in the radio age with the invention of the vacuum tube detector.
Notable inventors of the period include Edwin Howard Armstrong, David Sarnoff, Paul Godley, Alfred Grebe, and Louis Hazeltine.
During this decade Armstrong invented and developed the Regenerative and Superheterodyne circuits and Hazeltine perfected the Neutrodyne circuit, all necessary to bring radio reception into the home.
World War I contracts were awarded quickly to a many of the brightest companies who designed equipment to serve our armed forces in the air, over the ocean and on the battlefield, providing a new method of reporting enemy positions. Many of the sets displayed in this exhibit were originally installed on Navy battleships and cruisers.
This time period set the stage for the 1920’s, an era of radio which was to change the world, bringing families together to hear news and serial radio programs at home.
