Edwin Howard Armstrong created a system of wideband frequency-modulation radio in 1933. The Radio Corporation of America (RCA), convinced that Armstrong's system threatened its AM empire, failed to develop the new technology and refused to pay Armstrong royalties. Armstrong sued the company at great personal cost. He died despondent, exhausted, and broke. But this account, according to Gary L. Frost, ignores the contributions of scores of other individuals who were involved in the decades-long struggle to realize the potential of FM radio. The first scholar to fully examine recently uncovered evidence from the Armstrong v. RCA lawsuit, Frost offers a thorough revision of the FM story. Frost's balanced, contextualized approach provides a much-needed corrective to previous accounts. Navigating deftly through the details of a complicated story, he examines the motivations and interactions of the three communities most intimately involved in the development of the technology-Progressive-era amateur radio operators, RCA and Westinghouse engineers, and early FM broadcasters. In the process, Frost demonstrates the tension between competition and collaboration that goes hand in hand with the emergence and refinement of new technologies. Frost's study reconsiders both the social construction of FM radio and the process of technological evolution. Historians of technology, communication, and media will welcome this important reexamination of the canonic story of early FM radio. 517 $aEarly FM Radio 606 $aRadio technology$2bicssc 610 $aRadio technology 615 7$aRadio technology 700 $aFrost$b Gary L$4auth$01323019 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910583582503321 996 $aEarly FM Radio$93035329 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02527oas 2200889 a 450 001 9910140916103321 005 20251105213014.0 011 $a2344-4193 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2606646-4 035 $a(OCoLC)695928567 035 $a(CONSER) 2012237614 035 $a(CKB)2670000000054190 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000054190 100 $a20110110a20049999 sy 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aStudii de gramatica? contrastiva? 210 $aPitest?i [Romania] $cEditura Universita?tt?ii din Pitest?i 215 $a1 online resource 311 08$a1584-143X 517 1 $aStudies in contrastive grammar. 531 0 $aStud. gram. contrastiva? 606 $aContrastive linguistics$vPeriodicals 606 $aLinguistics$vPeriodicals 606 $aApplied linguistics$vPeriodicals 606 $aTranslating and interpreting$vPeriodicals 606 $aLinguistique contrastive$vPe?riodiques 606 $aLinguistique$vPe?riodiques 606 $aLinguistique applique?e$vPe?riodiques 606 $aApplied linguistics$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00811758 606 $aContrastive linguistics$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00877054 606 $aLinguistics$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00999202 606 $aTranslating and interpreting$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01154795 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 615 0$aContrastive linguistics 615 0$aLinguistics 615 0$aApplied linguistics 615 0$aTranslating and interpreting 615 6$aLinguistique contrastive 615 6$aLinguistique 615 6$aLinguistique applique?e 615 7$aApplied linguistics. 615 7$aContrastive linguistics. 615 7$aLinguistics. 615 7$aTranslating and interpreting. 676 $a410 712 02$aUniversitatea din Pites?ti.$bFacultatea de Litere. 801 0$bHUA 801 1$bHUA 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bNTE 801 2$bCZL 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bCUS 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bCUS 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bZ5A 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bWY@ 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bAU@ 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bVT2 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCL 801 2$bQGK 801 2$bOCLCQ 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910140916103321 996 $aStudii de gramatic? contrastiv?$92138831 997 $aUNINA
