On This Day December 12

On December 12, 1896, radio innovators Guglielmo Marconi and William Preece arranged a demonstration of radio controlled apparatus at Toynbee Hall, a center of social reform in East London. Marconi advertised the event and invited the newspaper press. During the event, the pair amazed the assembled audience by making a bell ring by pushing a button in a box that was not connected by any wires.
