Years Before Marconi mastered sending --
Dit dahs in his back yard, and while
DeForest was studying at Yale, as early as 1885,
Nathan B. Stubblefield, the owner and inventor of
his own telephone company; and telephone system; --
developed a way to transmit the voice by CW, as
much as three miles-- by means of his patented
"earth battery."
---- By allowing
electricity to flow in one direction only, these
little coils converted the very rapidly alternating
radio-frequency wave into a series of pulses whose
variations in strength, (amplitude) --were in the
audio-frequency range to which earphones and the
human ear could respond. By 1892, he was
broadcasting voice -- and selling his receiver to
his customers and local businesses. CLICK

1882 - 01 Nathan B. Stubblefield
demonstrated his ability to send a signal across
the Murray Courthouse Square without wires. Note:
Nathan's wireless signal moved the needle of a
compass from north to south, to east-west, the area
where Nathan was standing with his transmitter.
• 1882 -
03 Edison developed the first central electric
light power
station.
•
1882 - 05 Professor Amos E. Dolbear was able to
send signals over a distance of a quarter of a mile
without wires. Note that Prof. Amos Dolbear
preceded Hertz and
Marconi.
•
1885 - Grover
Cleveland: 1885-1889.
•
1885 - From
1885 to 1913, Stubblefield invented, developed,
manufactured and sold, both his wired mechanical
telephone, and his wireless telephone systems
through his own companies, partnerships or
corporations he owned shares of stock
in.
•
1885 - In
1885, Stubblefield reportedly succeeded in sending
voice between two parallel antennas by utilizing
the same principles Ward and Loomis developed in
sending damped signals but via a low-frequency
undamped electric wave dispersion system. It was
limited in distance, but wireless (needs supporting

1889 - Larynogophone: Nathan B.
Stubblefield - In 1889, Stubblefield developed what
was to have been an improvement on his mechanical
telephone, and he renamed the device the
"Larynogophone." It was basically the original
mechanical telephone but with a hearing tube and a
bell added to his copper wired telephone system
that emitted Sideband Electromagnetic
Waves.

- First Wireless Telephone Broadcasting
Demonstrations:
(Voice)
Nathan B. Stubblefield's first public "wireless
telephone" demonstration was given in the town
square of Murray, Kentucky, a radius of about one
half mile.
••• By
connecting his telephone apparatus to his newly
invented electrolytic coil earth battery -- he
transmitted and detected continuous undamped
electromagnetic waves, at a radius of about one
half mile;
•••Using
his grounded bare wired aerial system connected to
his loop coil antenna, placed on top of his
receiver -- he was able to talk back and forth
"without wires" to others with a like telephone and
loop antenna, or broadcast voice and music to those
listening through a mono-earphone piece; (The
so-called Hertzian Wave, was produced by coils that
emitted sparks, and could not transmit voice
signals).
•••Rainey
T. Wells, who later became the founder and
president of Murray State University, was one of
the first persons to hear Stubblefield's wireless
voice transmissions. Rainey became his assistant in
the 1892 exhibit. The public exhibits demonstrated
Nathan's;

1. Own Aerials;
•• • 2.
Own Inductive Coupling To The Aerial And Ground
Circuits;

Employed his own power source emitted from the
earth that acted both as a "hot spot" to transmit a
continuous flow of electricity to power his
transmitter signals through space, and as an
unlimited supply of electricity that simulated a
charged-up battery, ready to be used at will. *(See

1895 - Wireless
Telegraph Demonstration:
(Dit dahs - no

Marconi - In the spring of 1895, what Nathan B.
Stubblefield did with wireless voice transmission
in 1892, Guglielmo Marconi did with dots and dashes
utilizing damped electromagnetic waves emitted by
his Ruhmkorff coils (see 1897). He discovered that
his "black box" utilizing the Ruhmkorff coil, could
send controlled messages, by touching two
electrically charged wires together in a dit dah
manner - over distances far greater than those from
his villa to the garden -- distances which would
travel more than a mile. It was Marconi's great
basic invention. Like Stubblefield, he built an
aerial -- an antenna which he connected to one side
of the spark gap. (Hertz had merely used a
horizontal rod ending in a plate). The aerial was a
metal cylinder atop a pole. He connected the other
side of the spark gap to a ground -- at first, a
copper plate lying in the ground. The receiver also
got an aerial and ground.

signals without wires through a single aerial
tower. The first permanent wireless telephone
broadcasting installation in the world, (the
precursor to AM Radio) -- was erected by
Stubblefield's Teleph-on-del-green Industrial
College, in January, 1892. The location is now part
of Murray State University, Murray, Kentucky,
U.S.A. The transmitter and receivers were usually
placed 200 feet apart for demonstrations. The
electromagnetic coils were also the precursor for
today's "Firewire" and battery operated implants in
today's world of broadband streaming video and
electro/heartstimulus technology.

1913 -
The "Kingsbury Commitment." -
American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T)
began buying up rivals. But AT&T's acquisitions
troubled federal authorities, which began
considering antitrust action. This prompted
AT&T's company officials to propose, a
self-serving anti-monopoly unit, that subsequently
became known as the "Kingsbury Commitment." On
December 19, 1913, AT&T agreed to sell $30
million of its Western Union stock and to allow
competitors to interconnect with its network. The
company also pledged that for every new local
system acquired, it would sell an equal share of
lines to rivals. The Kingsbury Commitment was
wholly in keeping with the monopolizing of both
wired and wireless strategy of
AT&T;
and the preserving of consumer confidence by the
use of Takeovers; Buyouts; and mergers of troubled
competitive "look-a-Likes".

DEATH
OF NATHAN B.
STUBBLEFIELD,
and the end of his dream, the National
Broadcasting System, "The Inventor Of Radio"
(Wireless Telephony) died in Murray, Kentucky on
March 28, 1928. He is buried in the Bowman family
cemetery, located in back of the Walston property,
known as, 1619 N. 4th Street, Murray, KY.
MAXWELL'S ETHER THEORY
DIES - November, 13, 1931. The one-hundredth
anniversary of Clerk Maxwell's birth was marked by
the scientific world "digging a grave for the
theory of a luminiferous ether," but at the same
time honoring Maxwell's mathematical
genius.

Patent
Notes: It is now
assumed, that after his public demonstrations in
1892 and 1902, in Murray, Kentucky and later on
the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., the
SMART-DAAF BOYS and the rest of the world would
have become aware of his feats -- to send voice
without the use of wires.
---- The radio
voice demonstrations made by Stubblefield, were
made 14 years before Alexanderson and Fessenden's,
1906 radio demonstration. Stubblefield used his
electrolytic transmitting and detector devices,
(his ground batteries) to relay -- his radio
signal, as Fessenden did with his own "exciters" --
and AT&T did with Maj. Gen. Squier's multiplex,
wired wireless system and 29 relay stations,
(Please see Figure 3.19). Stubblefield ran his
largest transmitter at approximately 250
meters.
---- At times, to
extend the distance of his broadcast, he would
secretly bury a string of his "earth" ground
electrolytic transmitter/detectors -- to relay his
signals. In short, he was modulating the ground's
electrical potential, changing it from an
electrical "sinkhole" -- to an electrical
transmitting source as an engineer would do at any
modern-day, AM transmitter antenna site.
• •
Before his 1908, "All-in-One" patent was
issued, (that granted him the rights for both
Hi-frequency and Wired Wireless or Guided-wave
system for the use of broadcasting to all moving
vehicles, ships and trains) - he was asked to
describe the differences in his transmitting
stationary aerial; the horizontal aerial having its
opposite stretches or sides extending along the
opposite sides of the path of travel of the
vehicle; and the loop antenna coil attached to the
vehicle - from other patents.
---- He simple
explained to the patent examiners of the
impossibilities to broadcast radio waves with their
coils, because, as he put it, they did not have the
proper wire, and would have died from "high
frequency kickback". High frequency quickly heats
insulation. [Editors Note: A microwave oven
works on the same principle. In a few minutes, the
insulation inside the generator or coil grew so
hot, that the coils caught fire.]
• •
What saved the day in the granting of
the patent on his 1908 wireless telegraphy system,
was the transmission coil described in his 10-
year-old, 1898 "earth battery" patent. It should be
also noted, that Stubblefield's, loop "antenna" was
covered within the patent. The loop antenna was
designed to be used with radios installed in moving
vehicles that could not be grounded, such as:
airplanes, ships and automobiles.
---- Residents and
customers of Stubblefield's telephone company, in
the small town of Murray, used similar wireless
equipment in their business telephone service and
wireless burglar alarm systems -- installed by
Stubblefield since 1895.
---- The United States
Army and AT&T first used the combined system
during World War I, to guarantee articulate voice
reception; if the transmitting aerial was knocked
out, the wired wireless system would continue to
operate until the aerial could be repaired.
• •
The First Wireless Telephone Company to
commercially exploit the invention, was established
in 1902, and folded in 1927. Stubblefield became a
stock holder, officer and director of the Wireless
Telephone Company of America.
---- It is obvious his
demonstrations in Philadelphia and Washington,
D.C., created more interest in the device from the
SMART-DAAF BOYS and stock promoters, than history
books. Yet it is here that we realize that the
following SMART-DAAF BOYS were the ones that
perfected Stubblefield's basic principles of AM
radio broadcasting, as we know it today.

1931 - COLLINS
RADIO FORMED -
Arthur's father,
M. H. Collins, sold his &endash; Cedar Rapids,
Collins Farms Company, to an east coast insurance
company. Seeing the future of radio, he used the
money to invest in his, 23-year old sons, radio
hobby. They set up a shop in the basement of Arthur
and Margaret's home at 1620 6th Avenue S.E.,
previously the home of M. H. Collins' parents; and
they all began producing transmitters to order, and
later sold out to never disclosed parties during
world war II, in California.

As for 1931, "that's the year when Clerk Maxwell's
Ether theory was bleached by the Radio industry and
hi-tech publications," said MacFarlane in his
NBS100, "white paper." November 13, 1931, marked
the one-hundredth anniversary of Clerk Maxwell's
birth, and the date the scientific world, "dug the
grave for Maxwell's theory of ether waves."
