[NJARC] Lecture: Interception and Secrecy In World War I Telecommunications

[Radiosjon at aol.com]

IEEE Spectrum magazine has an article on RCA history. There is an  
exhibition at the College of New Jersey with 6000 artifacts that came from  the 
David Sarnoff Library. From what I could see most of the artifacts were what  we 
could see when NJARC had meetings there.

Dr.  Elizabeth Bruton gives a public lecture on "Blurred Lines: Interception
and  Secrecy In World War I Telecommunications" at Rutgers' Alexander
Library in  New Brunswick on Wednesday, October 23, at 4:30 pm.  This event
is  free and includes refreshments.

Bruton, one of the world's leading  scholars of early telecommunications,
will explore the interception  techniques developed during the First World
War and explain how concerns  for security and secrecy shaped the
development of  telecommunications.  Telecommunications and their
interception have  been major features of military and civilian life since
the early twentieth  century. Upon the outbreak of the First World War, some
of the earliest  actions involved curtailing enemy telecommunications while
guaranteeing the  security and safety of their own modes of
telecommunication. Dr. Bruton  focuses on Britain, but will also examine
U.S. activities, including those  of New Jersey stations and amateurs.

This event is co-sponsored by the  Rutgers University Department of History,
The Rutgers Oral History  Archives, the IEEE History Center, The Rutgers
Center for Historical  Analysis and The Thomas Edison Papers Project.
