DescriptionAlbert Einstein with other engineers and scientists at Marconi RCA radio station 1921.jpg |
An April 23, 1921 photograph of Albert Einstein being given a tour of the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) Brunswick New Jersey wireless station along with leading RCA scientists and officers, as well as engineers and scientists from the General Electric Company, American Telephone and Telegraph Company, and Western Electric Company. RCA News, Volume 2 By Radio Corporation of America (1921)[1] identified the participants (reading from left to right) as:
The 1921 RCA News also stated:[6]
In 1919, this old New Brunswick, New Jersey Marconi Company wireless station on Easton Avenue in the Somerset section of Franklin Township, Somerset County, New Jersey became part of the newly organized Radio Corporation of America (RCA) as station WII under the World Wide Wireless logo. See the Marconi Station in New Jersey article for more info. Note: This picture has the popular culture attribution of being a depiction of Nikola Tesla standing in the second row between Einstein and Steinmetz. Tesla historian Marc Seifer identified the man as AT&T engineer John Renshaw Carson.[7] RCA News, Volume 2 By Radio Corporation of America (1921)[8], Capital District Library Council Digital Collections and RCA Engineer, Volume 17, RCA Research and Engineering, 1971 page 4 also identify the man between Einstein and Steinmetz as "John Carson". Original Text: After World War I, the old New Brunswick Marconi Wireless Station on Easton Avenue in Franklin Township (Somerset) became part of the newly organized Radio Corporation of America (RCA) as station W.I.I. under the World Wide Wireless logo. RCA's David Sarnoff conducted an inspection tour of the facility in 1921. Some of the greatest scientists of the era attended. From left to right: Three unidentified men, David Sarnoff, Thomas J. Hayden, Ernst Julius Berg, S. Benedict, Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Charles Proteus Steinmetz, A. N. Goldsmith, A. Malsin, Irving Langmuir, Albert W. Hull, E. B. Pillsbury, Saul Dushman, Richard Howland Ranger, George Ashley Campbell and two unidentified men. Some of the unidentified men might be John Carson, and Ernst Alexanderson. Others may be station engineers like Hayden, who is next to Sarnoff. Second man from right in back is Lee de Forest. Man on the far right is Guglielmo Marconi. |
