Letter: Letters : . . .

Published 25 January 1997

From Brian Austin

Liverpool

One is sometimes tempted to wonder which came first: the subject of the paper
or a fortuitous get-together of researchers who didn’t dare let a good
opportunity slip.

Take the classic paper on “The wave antenna” by Beverage, Rice and Kellog
(Transactions of the American Society of Electrical Engineers, vol 42,
p 215). Maybe there was commercial sponsorship even then, back in 1923?
