     I discovered while researching something else a book called 
"The History of the Marconi Company" by W.J.Baker (1971). This 
was on Google Books as a preview. I ordered one through Amazon. 
It appears to have great detail of the formation of Marconi and 
its negotiations with Telefunken and others. I will review it 
here when I receive it.
     You may know that one of my hobbies (actually a little more 
than that) is the history of wireless and electronics. I have 
amassed a large collection of books about it but this one is new 
to me and appears to fill in some blanks.
     BTW, I downloaded the "SWOP Sparks Journal" from Archive.org 
posted there by David Ring. I have been reading them and find 
them fascinating. I recommend them to those interested in the 
life of maritime radio operators.  There is a lot of history 
there much of which is hard or impossible to find elsewhere. 
Thank you David for posting it.
