Mr Marconi and the Birth of Wireless 1890-1922 Talk
Patch, 5-6 Grays Yard, Chelmsford, Essex, CM2 6QR
We could not do Heritage Open Days with a theme of Routes, Connections and Networks without mentioning Marconi! Alan Pamphilon takes us back to the early days of Wireless. This true story centres completely around one man from Italy, Senior Guglielmo Marconi, and how his creative thinking influenced the working lives of so many people in the then market town of Chelmsford.
The technical and entrepreneurial abilities of this man went on to allow the world to communicate by wireless, later called radio. A wonder at the time, but a technical achievement that is very much today part of our everyday lives. This narrative will take us from the early days of Morse Code to speech over the airwaves and then on to the early days of regular broadcasting from the Essex village of Writtle. All this ground-breaking work directly led to the early days of the BBC.
