Guglielmo Marconi & wireless communications...



Item # 629818

November 19, 1930

THE NEW YORK TIMES, November 19, 1930

* Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi
* Marine radiotelephone experiments
* Yacht Elettra laboratory


Near the bottom of the front page is a two column heading: "Marconi Perfecting Automatic Radiophone; To Install System From Rome to Sardina" (See) I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 48 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
