Nathan B.
Stubblefield (November 22, 1860 -
March 28, 1928) was an American inventor
and Kentucky-born Educator and founder of
Teléph-on-délgreen
Industrial School..
Teléph-on-délgreen, built on
his 85 acre melon farmland is now the
campus of Murray State University, Murray,
Kentucky. The peaches, apples, watermelons
and other crops that Nathan
Stubblefield grew on
Teléph-on-délgreen, were not
only a source of pride, but it was the
watermelon that held special symbolism to
his EMW RF inventions, and All-in-One
Radio Patent, 1908.
The Nathan B. Stubblefield 1892 Wireless
Telephone system, hereinafter,
called NBS WiFi, or simply NBS, had at
least for a while, a few advantages over
and above his wireless conpetitors. The
big difference between his and theirs, NBS
could send voice, and the Edison, Tesla,
Marconi, and Fessenden transmiters
couldn't.
To compete against their existing patented
EMW spark induction coils that doubled as
both an aerial and a transmitter of
dampened or spark EMW RF signals, NBS was
granted U.S. Patent for the electrolytic
earth battery coil patent in 1898.
What made the little NBS earth
electrolytic coils so unique, was when
they were attatched to a grounded aerial
they could imitate and do the same
multi-RF tasks as the Edison, Tesla, and
Marconi, spark coil devices.
Also what made the NBS induction coil so
sensible, was the broadcaster didn't need
the required tall100' mast tower, and
extraneous motor, (generator) system to
supply the high voltage current needed to
power their induction coils to produce the
RF spark signals emitted in space.
As it turns out, when his inert loop
antenna sitting above or near his physical
telephone microphone and speaker device
became energized by his EMW grounded
electrolytic patent, it became annimated.
His Wireless Telephone was then
ready for one way broadcasting, or could
act as a two-way wireless WiFi telephone
device, with options. (See to top
photo).
This unique set-up backboned his separate
and distinct scientific method of
transmitting RF voice signals through
space between land Vehicles,
ship-to-shore, moving trains, and office
and residential telephone customers, with
land-line telephone pole connections.

Today 100 years later, Cell Phone and WiFi
Internet users still transmit articulate
RF WiFi voice signals, as indicated in his
1908 patent drawings. The Wireless
Telephone RF transmitter/receiver,
was designed to utilize both the air waves
and land-lines, to reach the telephone
subscribers -- or one-way Wireless unit
with a speaker system. - Continue

(Excerpt
from)"The
SMART DAAF BOYS"
Continued
from above -
Because NBS knew he was living in a
copycat EMW world, he did something no
other inventor would ever do, he agreed to
invite all of his competitors to his 1902,
Washington, D.C. - Philadelphia
Demonstrations, to meet top Washington and
Kentucky officials. Not only did they all
show, but the government officials from
the U.S. Patent Office, Signal Corps, the
co-founder of General Electric, Edwin
Huston, Westinghouse, Tesla, Fessenden,
and Collins were all there witnessing the
first Wireless Telephony ship to shore
broadcast.
Four years later, on Christmas Eve, 1906,
the GE, Alexanderson - Fessenden team
reported to have accomplished the same
feat. Whereas Stubblefield used a battery
system to power his uninterrupted voice
broadcast, Fessenden used the GE
Alexanderson designed generator to power
his antenna system. Max Wien's technique
of muffling spark gaps by quenching spark
gaps prior to microphone activity and
during spark gap transmission, made his
broadcast possible. This was not a public
demonstration. CLICK

Nine
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
citation).

was the first of four patents filed by the
25 year old, Nathan B. Stubblefield of
Murray, Kentucky. 1885
- 1913 - The companies Stubblefield
was involved in were the NBS Enterprises,
The Wireless Telephone Company of America,
The Gehring-Fennell-Stubblefield Group,
The Continental Wireless Tel & Tel
Company, The Collins Wireless Telephone
Company, and
Teléph-on-délgreen (citation

1886 -
Nine years before his contemporaries,
Marconi, Tesla and Fessenden mastered
sending Dit Dahs, (the Morse Code), Nathan
Stubblefield was the patent holder and
owner of his own telephone company,
(1886).
1886 -
Professor Amos Dolbear of Tufts
College obtained a patent for an induction
method of wireless
telegraph. 1887 - German
physicist Heinrich Hertz first
discovers Radio Waves. He transmitted an
electrical spark which was heard in a
receiving circuit a few meters away, thus
the term Hertzian Wave. Hertz demonstrated
that the velocity of radio waves equaled
the speed of light. The unit of frequency
was named in his honor. 1888

Nathan B. Stubblefield and Samual
Holcome patents their mechanical
"vibrating" telephone system. The first
permanent mechanical telephone
installation was in Murray, Kentucky to
demonstrate and sell franchised telephone
rights or territorial deeds around the
United
States.
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. 1892
- 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;
3. Own Tuning Coils and Detectors, to
Obtain the Desired Wavelength, and;
4. 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 Footnote.) Ice House. *
1892
- The first permanent wireless telephone
broadcasting installation was in January,
1892.The station was constructed in Murray,
Kentucky, by Stubblefield's
Teleph-on-del-green Industrial
College, now the campus where Murray
State University is located.
1894 - 02 The first
permanent wired telephone exchange
switchboard installation in Murray,
Kentucky, was on February 12, 1894. The
telephone service was constructed in
Murray, Kentucky, by the Nathan
Stubblefield Telephone Manufacturing Co.,
in the town square to work in conjunction
with his wireless telephone operation.

Wireless Telegraph Demonstration:
(Dit dahs
- no voice)
Guglielmo 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.

Newspaper demands WAR WITH SPAIN. The
Hearst, New York Journal issued a million
copy press run dedicated to the war in
Cuba. The newspaper called for the
immediate U.S. entry into war with Spain.
"The war of the United States with Spain
was very brief. Its results were many,
startling, and of world-wide meaning."
--Henry Cabot Lodge 19 March.
1898 - 0420 April - U.S.
President William McKinley signed the
Joint Resolution for war with Spain and
the ultimatum was forwarded to Spain.
Spanish Minister to the United States
Luís Polo de Bernabé
demanded his passport and, along with the
personnel of the Legation, left Washington
for Canada.
1898 - 0421 April - 21
April. The Spanish Government considered
the U.S. Joint Resolution of April 20 a

the ELECTROLYTIC COIL. The Patent was
referred to as the: Electrolitic Water
Battery, the Electrolitic Oscillating
Coil, the Induction Coil, Earth Battery,
Undamped Transmitting Coils, The
Stubblefield Electrolytic Detector.
Stubblefield's
grounded bare wired Antenna System was
part of his system to transmit continuous
voice or telegraph 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.
1899 04- In April the
Spanish American War was over. The Queen
regent of Spain, María Cristina,
