wire. In "#$%& Itaian inventor Marconi transmitted a message in Morse code that was picked up a'out ( km
away 'y a receiving device that had no wire connection to Marconi)s transmitting device. Marconi had
demonstrated that an eectronic signa coud 'e cast 'roady through space so that receivers at random
points coud capture it. The cosed circuit o! instant communication& 'ound 'y the necessity o! wires& had at
ast 'een opened 'y. The invention was caed a wireess teegraph or radioteegraph& 'ecause its signa
moved outward in a directions& or radiay& !rom the point o! transmission.
