Of the many scientists, technicians and entrepreneurs who met Marconi some played an important role in his career. There were those who supported and favoured his work, but he also had rivals who opposed him fairly openly. Although not all of them were famous, each played a key role in Marconi's wireless telegraphy adventure.
It can be said that Marconi's project to connect the world succeeded, even where emotions and instinct usually get in the way. One could be neither with or against Marconi, it was easier to be both.
John A. Fleming |
Marconi had a large-scale vision and great faith in the future world of the radio since the first years of its invention. With that vision, he wielded an immense suggestive power infusing great enthusiasm in his collaborators, who not once doubted the ultimate success of their teacher. |
