Greetings Card : Marconi radio apparatus
Cards from Science Photo Library
Marconi radio apparatus
Marconi radio equipment. This is a Marconi type 31 crystal receiver for ships. Marconi patented his radio equipment in 1896, founding a company in 1897 to build the new equipment. Marconis initial aim had been to allow communication with those at sea. He achieved the first trans-Atlantic radio signal in 1901. Crystal radio receivers were first built around 1900, and used crystalline minerals to detect radio signals. Photographed for The March of Commerce (1927), volume 4 of The Pageant of America: A Pictorial History of the United States, a 15-volume series that commemorated 150 years since the founding of the USA in 1776

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a piece of history that revolutionized communication as we know it. The image captures a Marconi type 31 crystal receiver, an early radio apparatus designed for ships. Developed by Guglielmo Marconi, who patented his groundbreaking radio equipment in 1896, this particular model was built around the turn of the century. Marconi's initial vision was to establish reliable communication with those at sea, and he achieved a monumental milestone in 1901 when he successfully transmitted the first trans-Atlantic radio signal. This achievement marked a significant leap forward in telecommunication technology. The crystal receiver featured in the photograph is an essential component of early wireless systems. It utilized crystalline minerals to detect radio signals, enabling long-distance communication without the need for wires or cables. Captured for "The March of Commerce" (1927), volume four of "The Pageant of America: A Pictorial History of the United States" this image is part of a larger series commemorating 150 years since the founding of the USA in 1776. It serves as a reminder not only of Marconi's pioneering contributions but also highlights how technological advancements have shaped our world throughout history. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into an era where innovation and ingenuity paved the way for modern telecommunications.
