NATHAN
B. STUBBLEFIELD -- (1860-1928)
Wireless Telephony -- AM radio Firewire
-
1892 -- 1902 All-in-One Radio Patent --
1908 Nine
Years Before Smart-Daaf Boys Marconi and
Deforest
mastered sending Dit Dahs around the
family home in Italy, and DeForest
finished his studies at Yale, Nathan
Stubblefield was the patent holder and
owner of his own mechanical telephone,
telephone company and telephone system. By
1892, Nathan's vibrating phone could
transmit voice without wires from grounded
electromagnetic wave energy, then through
the atmosphere to a companion receiver. It
was the 17-year-old Rainey T. Wells (b.
Dec. 25, 1875, d. June 15, 1958) who
attentively heard his first words over a
wireless telephone in 1892, at
Teléph-on-délgreen, now
Murray State University.
Fifteen
years later, Rainey, now a judge in the
Kentucky Calloway Court system, opened his
1907 Christmas Day birthday toast with the
truism that most legal scholars quote on
the first day in law school, to keep a
step or two ahead of the freshman. "De
minimis non curat lex" ("The law does not
concern itself with trifles").
-----By 1898,
Nathan's portable telephone could transmit
voice as far as one mile through the
atmosphere &endash; by means of his newly
patented firewire, "electrolytic coil
aerial" and a special loop antenna
connected to his transmitter.
-----But
So What!
Shortly
after receiving his earth electrolytic
battery patent, (1898) -- Nathan
commenced selling franchises to various
investors, to help finance and market his
wireless demonstrations held in
Philadelphia, New York and Washington,
D.C., in 1902. He used the orchards around
his Teléph-on-délgreen
Industrial School, and the lawn
surrounding of the Court house in Murray
to display different uses for his
telephone and wireless system. *(See
Footnote.) * .
-----By
leaving a remote wireless receiver on
overnight, sitting in the barn, the unit
operated as a wireless microphone and
listening surveillance system. The
electricity being emitted from the earth
was an unlimited free flowing
uni-directional stream of electricity,
which never switched off and did not
diminish with the time of day or length of
use. These little coils had the ability to
convert an electric current into
alternating radio-frequency waves when
passing through a field of action created
by the human voice. *(See
Footnote, John Hopi.)
-----These
series of pulses which varied in strength,
(amplitude) &endash; could then be
transmitted through the atmosphere by a
coil aerial placed near the field of
action, to one or more companion wireless
systems. One unit was designed with output
sockets to connect to the local Murray
telephone exchange for wired online
broadcasting. (See
Chapter 05, "The Phony Craze" -- for more
details.) I4.
