From Previous Page: Lee De Forest assertive exposition on the manifestation of Hertzian Waves from the ends of analogous or parallel wires was perhaps the first doctoral theory in the whole of USA. Later given the name: "Radio"! Lee De Forest founded the Lee De Forest Wireless Telegraph Company in 1902, but De Forest unlike Thomas Edison and Emil Berliner, he lacked a practicable entrepreneurial flare. His business practices and choice of commercial partners were perceived as failures. Almost every business venture that Lee De Forest embarked on was predisposed to malfunction; this was to become the highlight for the rest his life.

In 1912, Le De Forest developed a feedback circuit, which would increase the output of a radio transmitter and produce discontinuous current, but he never saw the worth of his discovery. By the time Lee De Forest had applied for a patent in 1915, another chap by the name of Howard Armstrong saw what could be accomplished by the discovery and patented it rapidly before Lee De Forest could blink an eyelid. When Lee De Forest found out that someone else had claimed his discovery; he sued. The legal battle action lasted for almost two decades. Well folks! That seem an equivalent to two life sentences. However, although he won the case in court.
