Letter: Signals at sea

Published 24 July 1999

From David Brown

As a true naval Briton, I suggest that the inventor of radio was actually
Captain Henry Jackson of the Royal Navy
(Letters, 10 July, p 56). He sent
signals by radio from ship to ship in 1896 and only later became a friend of
Guglielmo Marconi.
