The First Wireless Technology
I never knew that the wires ran with the railway cars. Such an interesting article!
What do you think of Mahlon Loomis' claims of achieving wireless telegraphy in 1866? Could it have been electrostatic transmission? Or a fluke?
He was definitely a contender, and it’s entirely plausible he accomplished what he claimed to do. Fahie has a good account of Loomis’ work.
