    VACUUM TUBE
    October 20, 1906 - American Institute, U.S.A.

    Dr. Lee DeForest (26 Aug 1873 - 30 Jun 1961), one of the “fathers of radio,'' announced his three-element electrical vacuum tube (now known as a triode) to a meeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers He had discovered that when a mesh, or grid, of wire was placed between the filament and collector “plate” in a diode tube (first made by J. Ambrose Fleming, 1904), a large voltage-amplifying effect could be produced. DeForest patented this vacuum tube on 15 Jan 1907. The ability of this tube to amplifiy weak signals was an invention as great as radio itself, because it made long-distance communication possible.

LISTING INFORMATION :

Website preview thumbnail for : Park City Magazine
Was the Lodestar Magazine’s first issue was published in 1977, named in reference to the silver mining heritage that still formed much of Park City, Utah’s identity. The mines had been in decline for decades and so with it the community. In those days, our first ski resort had only recently opened and a quaint historic home just off Main Street would only set you back a few thousand dollars. With the addition of two more ski resorts, however, winter recreation eventually became the new “lodestar,” generating the silver that revitalized our local economy. As our community grew and evolved, so did the magazine, and in 1989 we officially changed our name to Park City Magazine. Our website brings you interesting and informative articles on local arts and culture, dining, business, shopping, real estate, travel and recreation.
