ON THIS DAY, 1897 WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY ADVANCES INTO RADIO
July 2nd, 1897: Italian engineer Guglielmo Marconi, age 23, is awarded a patent in London for a new form of wireless telegraphy, bringing 'Improvements in Transmitting Electrical impulses and Signals and in Apparatus therefor.' Marconi's device will become known by its more common name, the radio. Guglielmo Giovanni Maria Marconi, 1st Marquess (25 April 1874 – 20 July 1937), was an Italian radio-frequency engineer, inventor, and politician known for his creation of a practical radio wave-based wireless telegraphy system. This led to his being largely credited as the inventor of radio and sharing the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics with Ferdinand Braun "in recognition of their contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy."
