Wireless and Radio Electronics Social Networks
The seeds of wireless telegraphy grew out of the network surrounding the magnetic-mechanical telegraph. In addition to Marconi, Deforest and Armstrong, there was a complex set of up to fifty players spanning the work of Maxwell (1865) to the early days of

Aims and Scope of the Series This book series aims to establish a well defined forum for Monographs and Proceedings on the History of Mechanism and Machine Science (MMS). The series publishes works that give an overview of the historical developments, from the earliest times up to and including the recent past, of MMS in all its technical aspects. This technical approach is an essential characteristic of the series. By discussing technical details and formulations and even reformulating those in terms of modern formalisms the possibility is created not only to track the historical technical developments but also to use past experiences in technical teaching and research today. In order to do so, the emphasis must be on technical aspects rather than a purely historical focus, although the latter has its place too. Furthermore, the series will consider the republication of out-of-print older works with English translation and comments. The book series is intended to collect technical views on historical developments of the broad field of MMS in a unique frame that can be seen in its totality as an Encyclopaedia of the History of MMS but with the additional purpose of archiving and teaching the History of MMS. Therefore the book series is intended not only for researchers of the History of Engineering but also for professionals and students who are interested in obtaining a clear perspective of the past for their future technical works. The books will be written in general by engineers but not only for engineers. Prospective authors and editors can contact the series editor, Prof. M. Ceccarelli, about future publications within the series at: LARM: Laboratory of Robotics and Mechatronics DiMSAT – University of Cassino Via Di Biasio 43, 03043 Cassino (Fr) Italy E-mail: [email protected]
