DR.. de Forest is the father of radio broad
casting. He was the first to broadcast
music and opera. All radio broadcasting
apparatus is built upon his audion inventions.
The audion detector, oscillator and amplifier
made possible the trans-continental tele-
phone service, both by wire and wireless;
and the audion or three-electrode vacuum
tube made the universal use of radio prac-
tical. In 1925 DR.. de Forest had taken out
over 100 u S. and foreign patents on radio,
telegraphy and telephony Since 1919 he
has been engaged in perfecting the phono-
