  • Bemerkung
  • This receiver matches the picture on page 56 of the January 13th, 1926 issue of "Wireless World". The picture heading states 'Short-wave receiver of the type used by Senatore Marconi in the short-wave experiments with the Poldhu station. Interchangeable coils produce a tuning range of 15 to 100 metres'.

    The "Marconi Review" No. 2 of November 1928 also refers to this receiver in the article: "A Chapter In The History Of The Marconi Beam II". Page 1 describes this receiver as follows: 'There were two receivers, designed by Mr. Mathieu, in use on the "Elettra." The first of these, a copper-screened two-valve instrument, having a waverange of 40 to 100 metres, was used for signal intensity tests, and employed, as shown in the circuit diagram, Fig. 5, an aperiodic aerial, a detector valve with reaction, a tuned grid circuit with vernier condenser, a low pass filter to isolate the telephone circuit from reaction effects, a low-frequency transformer and an audibility test circuit to which the telephone was connected. The test circuit consisted of an artificial line graduated in standard miles and providing a range of adjustment equivalent to 0 to 100 T.U.'

    Based on the picture, description and schematic, this may be the actual receiver used by Marconi during the short-wave tests conducted aboard his yacht, "Elettra". The serial number "1" stamped into the case also suggests that this was the initial prototype.
