Abstract :
This paper reviews the origin and evolution of some of the more important techniques and instrumentalities of radio receiver development. A completely comprehensive story would require many more pages than are available in this anniversary issue. Highlights of development between the early era of the magnetic detector, or coherer, and the present time are discussed.
