...Marconi, become the "inventor of Radio"
which we
are now celebrating, despite the fact that Tesla won
a court decision ...
One book I have (I think it was written in the 1930's, when the
people who knew the history were Alive) suggested that Radio
was Discovered rather than invented. Some people were
working on well calibrated Telegraph equipment and noticed
that they could get signals from a loop that wasn't physically
connected to the recieving loop. This of course set of alot of
peoples' curiosity going and led to directed experimentation
and then the Science only much later.
