UNCLE RAYS CORNER

From the wireless telegraph, the
radio sprang-but it did not spring
all at once! In my study Of early
radio history. three men stand out
as the main pioneers. They are DR..
j. A. Fleming, Prof. Reginald A.
Fessenden and DR.. Lee De Forest.
All three were at work on the radio
problem in early years of the pres
ent century.
DR.. Fleming, British scientist,
helped Marconi in the test which
sent wireless message across the
Atlantic in 1901. He stayed in Eng
land and flashed signals which were
heard by Marconi in New Found
land.
DR.. Fleming made changes in a
light bulb which Edison, for another
reason. had tested 20 years before.
The changes brought about the So
called Fleming valve" vacuum
tube. To this day we have tubes in
radio receiving sets, though they are
not Just the same as Fleming's.
Prof. Fessenden of the Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh also played big
part in the early radio. In 1902 he
obtained patent for what he called
the hot wire barretter." This was
q small electric bulb with a very
fine wire. One of his helpers made
. change which greatly improved it.
The purpose of the "barretter" was
to capture the tones of the human
voice.

Don't Take Ny
Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Ad infinitum
Latin. Without limit.

This expressive Latin phrase is
most familiar when coupled with
the similar 'ad nauseam.' as: 1.-The
speech went on, ad infinitum, ad
nauseam without end and to the
point of disgust"
Infnitum should not be pro-
nounced "in-FIN-i-tum" The ac-
cent properly falls on the third or
az syllable, which rhymes with dve,
lye.
A good memory verse was written
by Jonathan Swift, English satirist
and author of "Gulliver's Travels:
So, naturalists observe, flea
Hath smaller fleas that on him prey;
And these have smaller still to bite
EN-;
And so proceed ad infinitum.
Later, Augustus de Morgan carried
the thought further by adding:
And the great fleas themselves, in
turn,
Have greater f1eas to 60 on:
While these again have greater still,
And greater still, and so on.
Correct pronunciation: Ad in-f1n-
EYE-tum.

Fessenden's early trials were filled
with troubles. Working with tele-
phones hooked up to wireless sta
tions. he found his voice drowned
by noisy wireless sparks.
That did not make Fessenden give
up. He worked hard to find a bet
ter way to send tones of the voice
by wireless. A station with q new
kind of wave-sending machine was
set up at Brant Rock, Mass.

men on several ocean vessels re-
ported hearing the signals Co"
meaning Stand by!" Then they
were amazed to hear a human voice
coming through their wireless re-
ceiving sets. A man made a speech,
a woman sang a song, and some one
played violin! Those who listened
were asked to write to r. A. Fessen-
den at Brant Rock.
That broadcast did not make the
world wake up to radio. The world
in general slept" until after the end
of the World War. Some news
papers and magazines printed notes
on "the wireless telephone" The in
vention was something people won-
dered about, hardly thinking of it as
q fact.
The 1905 broadcast was trough, !"
but 1t pointed the way toward better
things. Slowly and carefully, scien-
lists and inventors worked to send
music and the human voice through
