This
is a letter sent to Marconi from his cousin Henry Jameson-Davis after
the
success of Marconi's transmissions between Poldhu and Signal Hill, St.
John's Newfoundland. He also refers to the action of the Anglo-American
Telegraph Company, who threatened legal action if Marconi continued to
experiment from this location, in an area where they claimed the sole
rights
to undertake telegraphic communication. Jameson-Davis ends his letter
by
saying: 'The
great thing is to get permanent stations erected on both sides so as to
establish your system of wireless communication between the New
and Old
World...' |
