Informs that Marconi brought it to him in 1896 when he was undertaking work on wireless telegraphy, recalling that he came to a hitch which Marconi's invention of utilising Hertzian waves and using vertical antennae, completely met. States that Marconi was given every assistance & encouragement, and proved the value of his invention. |
