Posted by Stephen Bauman on Wed Jun 15 11:33:30 2005, in response to Re: Communications, posted by RonInBayside on Wed Jun 15 10:06:41 2005. The 1940s to 1960s were a genuine "golden age" for Bell Labs.I did not bother doing any research regarding whether or not SSB had indeed been patented, when I wrote that post. I did have an idea of when it was invented and that was well before your 1940-1960 golden age. In fact, Carsons applied for the SSB patent in 1915; it was not granted until 1932. Carsons has a black cloud over his reputation. He wrote a paper in the 1920's regarding the feasibility and possible benefits of FM. He concluded that FM was impossible and would provide no benefits even if it could be realized. We had to wait until the 1930's for Armstrong to prove him wrong. Armstrong was not part of Bell Labs. |
