Guglielmo Marconi, 1st Marquis of Marconi (Italian: [ɡuʎˈʎɛlmo marˈkoːni]; 25 April 1874 – 20 July 1937) was an Italian inventor and electrical engineer, known for his pioneering work on long-distance radio transmission and for his development of Marconi's law and a radio telegraph system. He is often credited as the inventor of radio, and he shared the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics with Karl Ferdinand Braun "in recognition of their contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy". An entrepreneur, businessman, and founder in Britain in 1897 of The Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company (which became the Marconi Company), Marconi succeeded in making a commercial success of radio by innovating and building on the work of previous experimenters and physicists. In 1929 the King of Italy ennobled Marconi as a Marchese (marquis).
Taras Shevchenko Place is a street in New York City named after Taras Shevchenko, who is commonly considered the greatest Ukrainian poet. Taras Shevchenko Place connects Sixth and Seventh Streets between Second and Third Avenues in the East Village.
Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861) was a Ukrainian writer, painter and political activist whose novels and poems, written in Ukrainian, gave forceful expression to his countrymen's national sentiment at a time when many aspects of their culture, especially the language, were being suppressed by the Russian Empire. In one of his poems, he called for an independent Ukrainian state to be led by a "Ukrainian Washington".
The street was originally known as Hall Street and then as Hall Place, after Charles Henry Hall, a Harlem landowner who sold the property to the city on Dec. 23, 1828.
City Council changed the name of Hall Place to Taras Shevchenko Place in 1978.
There was an attempt in 2001 by the Cooper Union to rename the street back to Hall Place, by "de-mapping" the Taras Shevchenko name.
The Marconi National Historic Site and the Marconi Wireless Station National Historic Site are two National Historic Sites of Canada located on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. Both sites commemorate the efforts of Guglielmo Marconi to transmit transatlantic radio signals between North America and Europe in the first decade of the 20th century. The two sites are located within approximately 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) of one another, and are connected by the Marconi Trail.
Signal Hill in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador is another National Historic Site related to Marconi's work in Canada. Signal Hill was designated, in part, to commemorate Marconi's first transmission tests in 1901.
The Marconi National Historic Site of Canada, located at Table Head in Glace Bay, is the site of Guglielmo Marconi's first transatlantic wireless station, callsign VAS, and the first wireless message sent from North America to Europe on December 15, 1902. The site features the remnants of Marconi's transmission towers, a modern amateur radio station, plus a museum chronicling Marconi's achievements.
The Marconi Company was a British telecommunications and engineering company that technically existed under that rubric from 1963-1987, derived from earlier variations in the name and incorporation, spanning a period from its inception in 1897 until 2006, during which time it underwent numerous changes, mergers and acquisitions. The company was founded by the Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi and was originally known as The Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company. The company was a pioneer of wireless long distance communication and mass media broadcasting, eventually becoming one of the UKs most successful manufacturing companies. In 1999, its defence manufacturing division, Marconi Electronic Systems, merged with British Aerospace to form BAE Systems. In 2006, extreme financial difficulties led to the collapse of the remaining company, with the bulk of the business acquired by the Swedish telecommunications company, Ericsson.

Who is the real inventor of radio? In 1943, the United States Supreme Court invalidated one of the Marconi patents, number 763,772 (1904), on the basis it had been anticipated by Nikola Tesla, Lodge, and others. After years of patent battles by Marconi's company, the United States Supreme Court, in the 1943 case of Marconi Wireless Telegraph co. of America v. United States, 320 U.S. 1 (1943), said that "it is now held that in the important advance upon his basic patent Marconi did nothing that had not already been seen and disclosed."[26][27][28] Although Marconi claimed that he had no knowledge of prior art from Tesla's patents, the Supreme Court considered his claim false.[29] In addition to that ruling from the Supreme Court, the United States Court of Claims invalidated the fundamental...
This rare set was built by the Canadian Marconi company in late 1957 or early 1958 (based on the components used) and it features an early Emerson 888 circuit board, which was modified to turn it into a table radio. There were supposedly only around 1000 of these sets made, and it was available in a Walnut, Mahogany or Limed Oak cabinet (I believe this is the walnut version).

This is a Marconi Model 121 floor model radio, built in 1938 by the Canadian Marconi Company. Its a triple band radio that had the 'magic eye' above the dial to tell you when it was zoned in to the signal. The guts were all rebuilt with new capacitors, tubes and everything refreshed. The cabinet was still in good shape, so remains as it was. I just had to play some original commercials and shows through it, which helps to feel what it was like back in the late thirties and just after the war before TV really hit the market.

Two lifelong Marconistas recreated the famous 1901 photograph portraying the Great Man and his Right Hand Man with cutting edge equipment on the final day of 'Building the Wireless Age' exhibition at Hall Street, Chelmsford, on Sunday, May 29, 2016. The awesome display included a coherer receiver and spark coil, both originals manufactured at the world's first wireless factory, a Siemens Morse inker that was badged and sold by Marconi, a grasshopper key and a Marconi galvanometer. A fitting end indeed to a remarkable 'Marconi Spring' - three months of weekend public openings before the listed building isdestined to be converted into apartments, a smaller mirror image of the awful fate suffered earlier by the once mighty New Street factory. Can you imagine any other country, say America,...

# Without Marconi's world's first wireless factory at Hall Street, Chelmsford, the Lizard Station would originally have had no communication equipment - apart from the huge aerials - and yet Chelmsford City Council have done nothing to preserve the heritage factory which saved the lives of the Titanic survivors - but they like to boast on road signs that the City is the 'Birthplace of Radio' although most have never even visited it. THE OLDEST SURVIVING MARCONI WIRELESS STATION IN THE WORLD The Museum and Amateur Radio Station at the Lizard Marconi Wireless Station site are run by the National Trust with the Amateur licence being held by the Radio Officers Association. In 1900 the Marconi International Marine Communication Company Ltd was registered and Guglielmo Marconi came to stay ...

Covers details of a Blue ET-Base on Thule Island south of the Falklands, the Black Goo or Gray Goo, an "intelligent oil." The claim from abductees is that the Argentine Government had a Blue ET base on Thule Island, which was destroyed by a team of SBS and SAS commandoes. The problem is an intelligent black fluidic substance, illustrated in the X-Files and Prometheus films. This extremely dangerous "Intelligent & Aware" substance, was removed from the base, and given to Marconi communications company, so it is claimed, which resulted in disappearence of Marconi scientists, computer programmers and other staff in the early 1980s. https://thebasesproject.org/donate/
Malin Head wireless station was operational in January 1902 and operated by the Marconi Marine Company on behalf of Lloyds with the callsign "MH". Located at the northern most tip of Ireland, this station was ideally positioned to communicate with shipping coming across the Atlantic or from northern waters. The antenna was 120 foot (36.57m) in height and fed into the operations room. This antenna was supplied by the Marconi Radio Company and appears to be sloping at 30 degrees from east to west and secured above the ground on the south side of Banba's Tower.

Remarkable claims of a ‘Sentient Fluid’ which could be an extinction event in London. Alistair was heavily telepathing subjects during these interviews which are reflected in the questions. Alistair reveals information on a biomorphic ‘Sentient Fluid’ which is an intelligent and aware ‘Black Goo’, found over 30 years ago on Thule Island (Falklands war), and taken to the UK defence company Marconi. It exists as physical fluid but also as an intelligent ‘etheric’ morphogenic energy. Exposed and changed by this fluid, Alistair Martin comes forward describing this ‘Sentient Fluid’ in the London sewage system, after it was dumped as unprofitable and of no further use for defence ‘Super-soldier’ development. https://thebasesproject.org/donate/
