Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Marconi radio valve
Marconi radio valve. This is a Marconi transmitter valve of the type M.T.6. Marconi patented his radio equipment in 1896, founding a company in 1897 to build the new equipment. The thermionic valve, or vacuum tube, first developed in 1906, is a device used to amplify or modify a voltage, in this case to transmit a radio signal. Photograph courtesy of the Radio Corporation of America, New York, USA, formed in 1920 from the American Marconi Company. Photographed for The March of Commerce (1927), volume 4 of The Pageant of America: A Pictorial History of the United States, a 15-volume series that commemorated 150 years since the founding of the USA in 1776

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of communication history - the Marconi radio valve. Developed by Guglielmo Marconi, who patented his revolutionary radio equipment in 1896, this specific transmitter valve, known as M. T. 6, played a pivotal role in transmitting radio signals during the early 20th century. The photograph, courtesy of the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), captures the essence of this technological marvel that emerged from Marconi's visionary mind. The vacuum tube or thermionic valve depicted here was first introduced in 1906 and served as an amplifier to modify voltage for efficient radio signal transmission. Part of "The March of Commerce" series published in 1927 as part of "The Pageant of America: A Pictorial History" this image commemorates not only Marconi's groundbreaking invention but also celebrates American innovation and progress since its founding in 1776. Through its mono chrome aesthetic, the photo evokes a sense of nostalgia while highlighting the significant advancements made within telecommunications during this era. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit to bridge distances through wireless technology. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded that it is through such pioneering inventions that our world has become more interconnected than ever before.
