[Boatanchors] 1916 "Hoops!" Poem and a GREAT BOOK

[E C Moxon]

The earlyradiohistory.us website by Thomas White is a treasure, both for his
collection of early publications and his own original essays.
As noted, his process has been to produce formatted html.

A searchable pdf of Howeth is here

Somewhat easier on the eyes, and the pictures are there.

     This is an extremely good source for anyone interested 
in the general history of wireless, not just in the U.S. 
Navy.  It gives some idea of how RCA came into existence and 
how it turned out not to be quite what was anticipated. 
There are other books covering early wireless but this one 
will give you a good backbone for the others.
     Reading it as HTML is difficult but is a good place to 
start. The book is available used with a little searching. 
If you prefer actual books to a flat screen as I do the book 
will be worth searching out.
