About This Book

A group of resourceful youths, led by a patient teacher, explore early wireless technology through lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on experiments. The narrative alternates between classroom explanations of receivers, aerials, detectors and tuning, and practical outings where the boys apply engineering thinking to projects such as surveying a water-power site and proposing structural solutions. Radio broadcasts supply biographical and technical context, and the boys’ collaboration, ingenuity, and trial-and-error testing form the core of their learning and adventures.
