(Ebook) Wireless: From Marconi’s Black-Box to the Audion [TRANSFORMATIONS] by Sungook Hong ISBN 9780262082983, 9780585436135, 0262082985, 0585436134

The early development of wireless communications has been described in detail by Hugh Aitken, but even he did not attempt to probe the substance and context of scientific and engineering practice in the early years of wireless. In this book I attempt to fill that gap. My main goal is to provide a detailed analysis of engineering and scientific practices that are not only experimental but also theoretical. Examples include the engineering practices involved in Marconi’s earliest wireless telegraphy, Fleming’s “grafting” of power technology onto wireless telegraphy, Marconi’s innovation in tuning as represented in his “four-seven” patent, Fleming’s research on the unilateral conductivity in the Edison effect, and Lee de Forest’s invention of the triode. I also aim to explore the borderland between science and technology. For that purpose I pay close attention to the work of Fleming, who was trained in experimental physics by Maxwell but who moved to wireless telegraphy when he became Marconi’s scientific advisor.

One important mode of such “mediation” is the transformation of scientific effects into technological artifacts. I discuss several notable cases of this process, including the transformation of Hertzian waves into practical wireless telegraphy, Marconi’s transformation of a resonance principle into a stable artifact, Fleming’s utilization of the unilateral conductivity for the valve, and the transformation of “negative resistance” into the transmitter of continuous waves. Taken together, my accounts of these engineering practices provide a window on or a context for such novel practices. (...) My analyses of the Maskelyne affair, of tuning technology, and of the invention of the valve in the context of corporate politics exemplify my efforts to link engineering practices with specific contexts. The construction of these contexts is based largely on archival sources previously overlooked or underused by historians.
