Abstract :
Henry´s little-known experiments on what he called “induction at a distance,” conducted 100 years ago, were really the forerunner of radio. Since this present war has been labeled a “radio war” because of the great importance in military and naval activities of the transmission of electromagnetic waves, it is particularly appropriate to take this radio anniversary as the occasion for honoring this great pioneer in electrical science.
