Radio receiver components, 1914
Radio receiver components. Radio technology was developed in the 1890s, with new detectors used as the technology progressed. At top is an electrolytic Jegou detector. At centre and bottom, is a crystal detector in horizontal and vertical views. Crystal radio receivers were first built around 1900, and used crystalline minerals to detect radio signals. Photograph published in La Telegraphie Sans Fil (Wireless Telegraphy, 1914), by the French geophysicist Alphonse Berget (1860-1934)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early days of radio technology in 1914. It showcases a selection of radio receiver components that were instrumental in the development of this revolutionary form of communication. At the top, we see an electrolytic Jegou detector, one of the new detectors used as radio technology progressed. In the center and bottom, we are presented with horizontal and vertical views of a crystal detector. These crystal detectors, first built around 1900, utilized crystalline minerals to detect radio signals. The photograph was published in "La Telegraphie Sans Fil" (Wireless Telegraphy) by Alphonse Berget, a renowned French geophysicist who made significant contributions to the field during his lifetime. This historical montage transports us to an era when wireless telegraphy was still in its infancy but held immense promise for future advancements in telecommunications. The image serves as a reminder of how far we have come technologically since then. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Science Photo Library's collection, it is impossible not to appreciate both the beauty and significance of these early components that paved the way for modern-day electronics.
