History: |
In 1902, Canadian-born Reginald A. Fessenden, together with two Pittsburgh millionaires, Hay Walker Jr. and Thomas H. Given, founded the National Electric Signaling Company (NESCO) in order to promote the inventor's efforts. NESCO made the bold decision to try to directly compete with Marconi, by setting up a transatlantic radiotelegraph service, operating between Brant Rock, Massachusetts and Machrihanish, Scotland. Although Fessenden did achieve some initial success, including the first two-way trans-Atlantic communication by radio, the effort abruptly ended in December 1906, when the Machrihanish antenna collapsed. There is also the National Electric Supply Co., which is obviously the same establishment. |
