Seldom has that been demonstrated more

Just last month, a few more frequency sales
took place, and as of yet, no report as to how much
they received and as to whom the spectrums were
sold too. The monetary payout agenda was hijacked
by a current sin trend event . . . a rebel attack

Some of the pages, however,
will contain material that might spook
image-control conscious advertisers. But by making

The moment users of our

Part
02 / HISTORY OF ELWIN
PETERSON
/
•••
Peterson's patent number 1,747,791 was submitted in
1928 and was not finalized until Feb. 18, 1930 as
they searched other patents to be sure nothing
infringed on any other patent. This patent was for
a "Transmitting System and Apparatus". He filed
another patent that was granted Aug. 18, 1931 on a
"Synchronizing Method and Apparatus".
•••
Elwin was born 100 years ago on March 20, 2006 in
Yankton, North Dakota. His mother, Ida Fidroeff,
was of Russian/Norwegian decent. His father
Laurence, was from Denmark. Elwin's father was an
artist and a photographer. He was fascinated with
the idea of making motion pictures. One of Elwin's
papers states ; "I know the basic ideas my father
gave me when I was young started me to thinking.
The way he cut up a picture in strips to give a
moving photograph showed me a picture was made up
of strips of elements. At 11 years old I knew what
grain or element of a picture was. At 14 I was set
on a definite idea of transmission of pictures." He
went on to describe his theory.
•••
Tragedy stuck when Elwin was ten. His mother, who
had been assigned to head up the Indian
reservations, went for a minor operation and bled
to death on the operating table. The following year
his father died. He was told he died of a broken
heart. Being a sensitive artist we wonder if it
could have been by suicide. Elwin was taken in by
his mother's uncle and his only sister, Margaret,
was adopted. He eventually moved to California with
his uncle and grandmother when he was 16, joining
his other uncle that lived there.
••• In
California he went to work at a bank and attended
LA High School at night to get his diploma. During
this time he drew architectural plans for his
uncles who were builders. There was a subdivision
of land near Santa Monica and Highland and the
builders were restricted to building a duplex with
one third of the square footage on the second
floor. Dad drew up detailed architectural
renderings and elevations that they paid him for
and used.
•••
Continually he worked on his invention for
television. A group of people were so impressed
with his intelligence and drive that they paid for
him to audit classes at USC. He completed a model
and demonstrated his three dimensional camera in
1928. The newspaper clippings lauded this young 23
year old scientist. From the Examiner "Elwin
Peterson and his motion picture camera that takes
two pictures side by side on the same film. The two
pictures are taken from slightly different angles
and when merged give the appearance of depth."
The
Patents
•••
He continued in his experiments finally perfecting
his invention of TV and the next news clipping from
the Washington Herald Finance, July 15, 1929, says:
"The invention embodies a wholly new and simplified
principle. The problem of synchronization between
the distributing and receiving points has been
mastered for the first time since wireless moving
pictures were attempted. All obstacles to
synchronization which have retarded television in
the past have been eliminated. The Peterson
invention will make it possible to turn a dial and
receive the picture with no more than technical
knowledge than for the operation of the radio."
From the Washington Universal Service, July 14,
1928 it says "A twenty-three year old California
inventor, E. L. Peterson of Los Angeles, has
obtained patent rights on a new and revolutionary
television principle, it was revealed here today."
A letter in his files from the Secretary of the
State of California, Frank C. Jordan dated Sept.
24, 1931 says, "I was delighted to have an
opportunity to view your Ray-O-Vision Three
Dimensional Screen. It was my good fortune to have
with me men high in the theatrical profession, and
they were exceedingly interested and very much
pleased. That you have accomplished what you set
out to do, and which seemed to be.
•••
Impossible, is evident. It is one of the most
interesting and valuable inventions of the
year…." His patent # 1,747,791 was submitted
in 1928 and was not finalized until Feb. 18, 1930
as they searched other patents to be sure nothing
infringed on any other patent. This patent was for
a "Transmitting System and Apparatus". He filed
another patent that was granted Aug. 18, 1931 on a
"Synchronizing Method and Apparatus".
03. U.S. Radio
Commission
•••
In Elwin's papers was a letter to the Radio
Commission which stated, "In the late 1920s and
early 1930s I was constructing a frequency
variation apparatus and demonstrated potential
possibilities of this system to RCA in New York
City and Camden, N.J., to the Mackey Radio, New
York City and Bell telephone. In 1930 I applied to
you for an experimental band having my laboratory
located in Hollywood, California on the 7th and top
floors of the Bekin Building, which application was
not granted. For the past 20 years I have also been
working in the stereoscopic television field and
have given many demonstrations of stereoscopic
pictures, both moving and still, using no eye
filters, each eye seeing a separate full (not
grated) picture my method being based on the
spacing of the eyes. I have demonstrated this
system to the Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester,
N.Y. and at several hospitals showing that a group
of doctors might view stereo-x-rays at one
time."
•••
Dad's star was in the ascendancy. The corporation
leased a building on Long Island, NY where dad's
lab and the manufacturing of his TV would take
place. His uncle Bill took on two partners to help
make money for the Corporation (Ray-O-Vision) and
to cover the expenses of further research and
development. The two men proved to be crooks that
oversold stock in the corporation and then took off
with the funds. They were arrested with Uncle Bill.
Elwin had no involvement in the financial end and
knew nothing until he arrived in New York and went
out to the new lab and found that the locks had
been changed and he was locked out. All his
equipment and even many of their personal household
items and wedding gifts were sold to repay the
stockholders. Elwin found himself almost penniless
with a wife and young son to support in the midst
of the depression. Those were hard years when he
worked at anything he could find. He had nine other
patents pending but with no money they were dropped
& forfeited.
••• In
1945 Elwin went to work for the Navy Yard in the
optics and machine shop. He was foreman over thirty
women. Father received many awards from the Dept.
of the Navy for beneficial suggestions. One of
these was for an air release chuck that increased
the production of the women on the lathes by 1000
times. The government was to have protected his
rights to this invention but they didn't and Allson
manufacturing came out with it later on claiming it
was their invention.
•••
There were other inventions but most important here
is when he offered his patent #1,747,791 which
covered frequency modulation to the Navy. In a
letter, Aug. 27 1945, to The Chief of the Bureau of
Ordnance, Navy Department Attn. Relb. From W.G.
Schindler, Captain, U.S. Navy, Officer-in-charge,
Naval Ordnance Laboratory, Navy Yard, Washington,
D.C. "Elwin L. Peterson, an employee of the Naval
Ordnance Laboratory and the inventor of the
Transmitting System and Apparatus disclosed and
claimed in Patent 1,747,791 issued February 18,
1930, wishes to bring this patent to the attention
of the Government. He asserts that this patent
covers the field of frequency modulation and
desires the Government to recognize his efforts in
this field. In the event
••• the
Government desires to make use of this patent, Mr.
Peterson is willing to grant to the government an
irrevocable, non-exclusive, and royalty free
license under the patent. Mr. Peterson also asserts
that he is the owner of the patent and, therefore,
has a right to grant a license there under."
••• In
my father's notes he had written, "Sometime in the
year 1945 I suggested that the Army and Navy use my
patent #1747791 for clear communication where
communication was being scrambled by the enemy.
This suggestion was made through my Master
Mechanic, Mr. Develin of the Optical shop. After
several interviews I was asked to go to the
communications division of the Navy Yard. I was
taken there by a Navy man, Mr. Hicks. This seemed
fruitless because there was a man there that use to
work for Major
•••
Armstrong. He said that in 1931 Major Armstrong was
working on the same thing, a variation of the wave
length. I told him that I knew that. I had
demonstrated my patent to him in 1929 and again in
1930 at Bell Telephone and Postal Telegraph when
they had requested his opinion of my invention. He
later developed the limiter circuit after some
extensive experiments. I told them that this was
just an improvement of my claim.
••• I
was asked back for further interviews several
times. Then I did not hear from anyone for eight
months or so. A telegram was sent and I understand
a man went to my home to tell me to be at the Navy
Yard office at 11AM that day. I got there at 11AM
and they showed me the paper I was to sign. My
letter had stated that I wanted my children and
their children to know what I had developed. I was
assured that this would be done in a big way. But
for some time I was not to mention this to anyone.
They told me to be very quiet.
•••
They said they would be taking the patent out of
the Patent Office and all papers about it should be
kept secret. The contract said for $1.00 I assigned
the patent and I asked for the $1.00 and they
laughed and said the government never takes
anything without giving what it is worth and that
it would be determined later.
••• Mr.
Devlin sent for me to come to his office in the
Optical shop one day later. A Navy officer was
there and he asked if anyone had contacted me on my
patent. I told him no. He told me that most every
range finder had my improvement on them. He went on
to say that my method of communication was a
complete success. The Germans were pushed all the
way back before they found out about the new
communication. I write this letter now after
finding an old copy of a letter of Aug. 27th 1945
and ask when the Government is going to recognize
my efforts in the field of FM."
•••
Later toward the end of 1946 when FM stations were
springing up, dad hired a lawyer to sue for
infringement on his patent. His attorney Joseph
Davies researched the situation and wrote to Elwin
on January 16, 1947. His patent was due to expire
on February 18, 1947, and that it would take an act
of Congress to get it extended and that there was
little hope that he could get an extension. The
second problem was that all of the stations were in
the red because of set up costs so they didn't have
any money.
•••
Elwin had other inventions where others betrayed
his trust but he did not become bitter. He had his
family that loved him. He married Sally Emily
Bowden in April of 1930 and had two children Elwin
L. Peterson Jr. and Suzan Peterson Schweizer. He
remained optimistic thinking that success was just
around the corner. He told his son to keep a book
and write a new idea every day. In his diary of
1928, I read his Resolution for the New Year:
"Resolved, that I shall be dissatisfied with myself
for the next 365 days. It pays. I shall realize
that my troubles are not caused in the shortcomings
of others but are caused by me and only me. I shall
try, by hard work and close thinking to develop to
the utmost what powers I have, which I have. And in
doing so I shall deal justly with others." How sad
that others did not deal justly with him.
