conversing by wireless telegraphy
The code signals are being tapped on Mr. Edison's knee by
Dr. Hutchison
This means of communication was used for many years in Naval Consulting
Board Meetings, public banquets and the like, by means of which Mr.
Edison despite his deafness, was kept perfectly conversant with all that
transpired.
On November 15th 1901 Miller Reese Hutchison applied for a patent on his
Acousticon
, the first
elektrische Hörgerät
which he had invented some years before.
