This was the first invention of a radio transmitter, though a fire led to a delay in production and Guglielmo Marconi took the credit for the invention.

“The method hereinbefore described of transmitting electrical energy through the, natural media, which consists in producing at a generating-station a very high electrical pressure, causing thereby a propagation or flow of electrical energy, by conduction, through the earth and the air strata, and collecting or receiving at a distant point the electrical energy so propagated or caused to flow.”
