 | | In 1902 Heaviside correctly predicted the existence of the ionosphere, an electrically conducting layer in the atmosphere, by means of which radio signals are transmitted around the earth's curvature. |
 | | Oliver W. Heaviside (b: May 18, 1850 in Camden Town, London, England, d: February 3, 1925 in Paignton, Devon, England) caught scarlet fever when he was a young child and this affected his hearing. |
 | | The town should be proud of its famous resident who now lies buried with his parents in Colley End Road cemetery, Paignton, just quarter of a mile from my former home. |
