	David Edward Hughes - LoveToKnow 1911
		DAVID EDWARD HUGHES (1831-1900), Anglo-American electrician, was born on the 16th of May 1831 in London, but the earlier part of his life was spent in America, whither his parents emigrated when he was about seven years old.
		When towards the end of 1879 he found that they were also sensitive to "sudden electric impulses, whether given out to the atmosphere through the extra current from a coil or from a frictional machine," he in fact discovered the phenomena on which depends the action of the so-called "coherers" used in wireless telegraphy.
		Hughes, who is also known for his invention of the induction balance and for his contributions to the theory of magnetism, died in London on the 22nd of January 1900.

		In H.M.S. Warwick" he was present at the action with the "Glorioso," but in default of proper support from the "Lark" (which was sailing in company with the "Warwick"), the combat ended with the enemy's escape.
		Captain Hughes was with Boscawen at Louisburg and with Saunders at Quebec.
		Suffren (q.v.) was perhaps the ablest sea-commander that France ever produced, but his subordinates were factious and unskilful; Hughes on the other hand, whose ability was that born of long experience rather than genius, was well supported.

	Obituary: David Edward Hughes (1900)
		Simultaneously with his musical studies Hughes appears to have developed a remarkable fondness for physical science and mechanics, and his studies in these branches of knowledge justified his appointment, at the early age of 19, to the chair of natural philosophy in the same college as that in which he held the professorship of music.
		Hughes was compelled to carry his invention across the Channel to France, where it met with a much more enthusiastic reception at the hands of the French Government, who agreed to give the instrument a year of practical trial on the French land lines, and if found satisfactory it was to be finally adopted.
		Hughes himself to be gladdened by the receipt of such recognition from his own country, we trust that the nation which has failed to do him justice during his life will perceive a clear call to raise a suitable memorial to him now that he is dead.

		Hughes was a talented freelance inventor who had at only 26 designed an all new printing telegraph (internal link).
		Hughes noticed a clicking noise in his home built telephone each time he worked used his induction balance, a device now often used as a metal detector.
		Hughes correctly deduced that radio waves, electromagnetic, radiated emissions, were produced by the coil of wire in his induction balance and that the gap the spark raced across marked the point they radiated from.

		Hence, in the one case, the resistance is less because of the closer proximity of a larger number of points, and greater in the other by reason of the increased distance between the points.
		Hughes place a small French clock near the apparatus, and the motion of the clock generated heat sufficient to cause the swinging of the needle, and on allowing the small bell of the clock to strike, the needle swung violently as far as it would go.
		Hughes has declined to patent his inventions, but gives them, with whatever value they possess, to the world.

		The carbon transmitters which in various forms are in almost universal use are modifications of a simple device which he termed a microphone, and which consists essentially of two pieces of carbon in loose contact one with the other.
		These results were published in 1878, but Hughes did much more work on the properties of such microphonic joints, of which he said nothing until many years afterwards.
		As an investigator he was remarkable for the simplicity of the apparatus which served his purposes, domestic articles like jam-pots, pins, etc., forming a large part of the equipment of his laboratory.

	David Edward Hughes - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
		David Edward Hughes (Londres, Gran Bretaña, 16 de mayo de 1831 - † Londres, 22 de enero de 1900).
		Hughes descubrió que los contactos eléctricos sueltos podían captar las vibraciones producidas por el sonido, por lo que si había un contacto suelto en un circuito que contenía una batería, se podía generar un campo electromagnético.
		Hughes, hombre de sobrado prestigio por en el momento, rechazó patentar el micrófono, revelando el secreto primero a la Royal Society de Londres el 8 de mayo de 1878 y, difundiéndolo entre el público general el 9 de junio de ese mismo año.

		Scott Willis has Rooster Hannigan's sleazy, showbizzy strut down pat, and as his cohort in romance and crime, former child star Mackenzie (One Day At A Time) Phillips doesn't overdo the gum-chewing floozy bit as Lily St. Regis, holding her own with Willis and the sublime Robertson in the crowd-pleasing "Easy Street" showstopper.
		Allan Baker wisely doesn't tip his FDR too far over into caricature, David Chernault is a subtle scene-stealer as Warbucks' butler Drake, and Monica L. Patton offers a standout vocal as the Star to Be in the "N.Y.C." production number.
		The entire ensemble, adult and orphans alike, is sharp and energetic, and a tip of the hat to Seattle's own Harry Turpin who makes wonderful comic choices with his cameo role of uptight FDR cabinet member Harold Ickes in the big "Tomorrow" reprise.
