This meth od was preceded by two others, in which attempis at sending without wires were made by conduction and induction. The conduction system was discov ered by Professor Steinheil, a German inventor, in 1838. He stumbled upon it when experimenting with steel rails in an endeavor to substitute them for telegraph wires. He found that by using only one telegraph wire with the earth as the return circuit. rele graph instruments functioned as well as with two wires. This method still is in use.
