	The Iceberg, the Radio and David Sarnoff
		Sarnoff’s boss at Commercial Cable fired him for requesting time off for High Holy Day services, but he promptly found work with the infant Marconi Wireless and Telegraph Company, where his diligence attracted the attention of Guglielmo Marconi, the firm’s founder and inventor of commercial wireless.

	Info Age - Armstrong Circuit
		David Sarnoff would become a vice President in the Marconi Wireless Telegraphy Company of America, then President of RCA, and is considered the driving force behind the developement of color TV.
		This is a report David Sarnoff filed after testing Edwin Armstrong's breakthrough device, the regenative circuit, at Camp Evans when it was Marconi Belmar Station.
		Although the circuit was not invented at Camp Evans this test is spoken of in many oral histories, radio history documentary videos, and books.

		Eight years before Hertz or Marconi had demonstrated anything, Hughes was already the first person in the world to transmit and receive radio waves.
		(This was the site where in 1918 a transmission of Morse signals was sent across the world to Australia.) There is some speculation that Marconi actually adopted some of Hughes ideas which he obtained through Preece.

		Young was made chairman of the board of RCA, while Edwin J. Nally and David Sarnoff of the old American Marconi were appointed president and commercial manager respectively.
		Clark's wireless data was useful and he testified frequently, for example, in RCA's suit against the United States in the Court of Claims over the Marconi tuning patents and in the Westinghouse Company's suit against the United States over the heterodyne.
		Clark wished to remain in New York and house the collection somewhere in the city where it would be open at all times to the public and where it would be maintained.

	AR13 - TESLA & MARCONI By David Hatcher Childress
		Marconi was the son of a wealthy Italian landowner and an Irish mother.
		Marconi was fascinated by the transmission of power, and in 1896 received a British patent and sent a signal nine miles across the Bristol Channel.
		When Marconi allegedly died in 1937 (while still a relatively young and healthy man) he was a multimillionaire, lived on a luxury yacht, and was probably the most knowledgeable man in the world at the time in the practical application of Tesla Technology.

	GEC Renamed Marconi plc
		This has a tie-in to RCA, as David Sarnoff went to work for American Marconi in 1907 and quickly rose through the ranks.
		The founder of the company and inventor of wireless Guglielmo Marconi was a mentor to Sarnoff during these years and beyond and had a lot to do with his drive for technical innovation at RCA.
		Guglielmo Marconi spent his later years doing microwave research, and returned to his native Italy in 1935.

	Marconi Scandal
		The chairman of Marconi was Godfrey Isaacs, a close friend of Samuel and the brother of Sir Rufus Isaacs, the Attorney General in Asquith's government.
		Although the parliamentary inquiry revealled that David Lloyd George, Herbert Samuel, Sir Rufus Isaacs and the Master of Elibank had profited directly from the policies of the government, it was decided the men had not been guilty of corruption.
		Herbert Samuel bought 3,000 shares at £2,532 and the Master of Elibank, the Liberal Chief Whip, purchased 3,000 Marconi shares for himself and another 3,000 for the Liberal Party.

	The Titanic and the New York Wanamaker Station
		The office was directed by David Sarnoff, manager of the station, assisted by J. Hughes, an expert Marconi operator.
		David Sarnoff, the New York station's manager (and future president of the Radio Corporation of America), produced some of the best known, and unfortunately, most exaggerated accounts of this event.
		Sarnoff's progressively more expansive accounts falsely credited himself as being the first person in the United States to hear about the Titanic, and also as the sole source supplying the entire nation with information.

	David Sarnoff
		Marconi became the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) and Sarnoff climbed the ranks.
		Sarnoff later used alliances with GE and Westinghouse to create NBC, the first national radio network and the first real programming supported by advertisers.
		But once the war was over, Sarnoff began marketing his new technology, developing NBC through the early television years to support the growth of television, first black-and-white, then color.

	"Radio Music Box" memo (1916/1920(?))
		Later, American Marconi's assets were purchased by General Electric, becoming, effective December 1, 1919, the core of a new General Electric subsidiary, the Radio Corporation of America.
		Sarnoff maintained that the 1920 memo merely incorporated the earlier memo's words, however, there is a real question whether the fully formed "Radio Music Box" text existed before 1920.
		In general, Sarnoff's memos didn't reveal the sources for his ideas -- he wasn't one to needlessly give anyone else publicity, and tended to let people think all the ideas he presented were original to himself.

	Welcome to the Intelligent Systems Group
		David McLean is a Senior lecturer and researcher whose prime academic interests lie in feed forward neural networks for continuous data domains (those described by non discrete attributes) unsupervised data clustering techniques and Conversational Agents.
		Since this time he has worked as a researcher at DERA (Defence Research Agency) and as a developer for Thomson Marconi Sonar both of which centred around the use of Neural Network systems to solve military problems.
		McLean then returned to academia continuing his research in to techniques for improving generalisation and taking a central role within the Centre for Conversational Agents Research and the Adaptive Psychological Profiling Research Centre.

	David Lloyd George Knew My Grandmother
		Lloyd George then wrote that an insider-trading scandal over Marconi shares was about to break, and he needed her during that crisis.
		Lloyd George was faithful to neither his wife nor his mistress, but Frances nonetheless kept her position with him, always putting his interests first -- even above those of the child she eventually chose to bear him at the age of 40.
		Lloyd George's daughter Megan became a bitter enemy when she discovered that her former tutor was having an affair with her father, but even she admitted that being with Frances was "like sinking your feet into a thick pile carpet into which you sank your feet gratefully."

		The operator of Marconi's station was David Sarnoff, who later became the president of RCA and helped shape the evolution of radio and electronics in the United States and around the world.

		Marconi's South Wellfleet Wireless, or "Old CC." Unfortunately, the historic station was dismantled and abandoned in 1920, and the ocean has eroded away over half the land it occupied.

	When I Think Back
		(Ref. Guglielmo Marconi by David Gunstan, Heron Books, 1970)
		In the light of new research by the Marconi company, it was decided to base the system on the use of short waves ‑ typically about 25 metres (12MHz) ‑ which would allow the use of lower power and less costly directional antenna arrays, while ensuring more constant signal strength and greater freedom from atmospherics.
		Says Larkins: "As Marconi discovered wireless, so E. Fisk discovered a continent ‑ a continent without wireless, but a continent where he was destined to be one of its greatest pioneers".

	AllSports (tm) Spirit Maintain Marconi Hoodoo
		Nicola Berti cut the ball back towards Troy Cranny who hit the ball into the Stallions' box, only to see Babic extend his right foot far enough to steer the ball past David Aceski and into the net.
		In the second half the Stallions applied some pressure, especially after Spirit were reduced to ten men in the 78th minute.
		The game was lifted somewhat by a dramatic improvement from Berti who hit the crossbar with a chip over Aceski in the first half and took command of the midfield area at times, although he is still clearly below his best.

	Todd, David Peck (1855-1939)
		Although Todd revived his plan in 1920, around the time Marconi was discussing extraterrestrial signals, no balloon was ever launched.
		In 1907, Todd led the Lowell expedition to Chile to photograph the Martian canals.
		In August 1924, during an opposition of Mars, Todd persuaded the United States Army and Navy to use their receiving stations to listen in for any unusual signals.
