100 Years Ago: Hugo Gernsback on “An Amazing Art”

I like the art work in the header. I like the reference to “the radio art.” I like that he refers in the first half of the piece to “the radio tribe” — that would be us! And this reminds me of “tribal knowledge.” He also talks about rigs “scattered across the table” — Al Fresco!

In the second half of the piece he veers off into a kind of weird call for standardization and ladies hats. But the first half is good, and it is interesting to take a look at the hobby 100 years ago. Click on the image for an easier read.
