Alexander Graham Bell, inventor Of
the telephone, in 1850 established his
claim to recognition as a pioneer
wireless" enthusiast. He succeeded
in transmitting speech, without the
use of wires, over a distance of some
200 yards. His method was to produce
beam of light varying in intensity,
its fluctuations being produced by tho
vibration of a diaphragm by sound
waves. At the receiving end the beam
of light was concentrated upon "a eel
