About this book
The book is The dawn of amateur radio in the U.K. and Greece: a personal view, by Norman F. Joly. The contents list names, among others, THE DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTRICITY, THE BIRTH OF RADIO COMMUNICATIONS and THE 1921 AMATEUR TRANSATLANTIC TESTS. A prologue on Thales of Miletus says Thales, who was born in 640 B.C., was a man of exceptional wisdom and one of the Seven Sages of Ancient Greece.
The text says Michael Faraday (1791-1867), employed as a chemist at the Royal Institution, was responsible for introducing many of the technical terms connected with electrolysis. A speaker quoted in the text recalls being about 18 when first going to sea as a cadet W/T operator. The recollection mentions an American freighter heavily laden with wheat and very low down in the water that was caught between the crests of two enormous waves and broke in two roughly amidships. The text says that without its base the ribbon microphone weighs 4 kilograms, nearly 9 lbs.
