The Jigger. Probing the Fieldwork of Marconi’s Assistants (1897-1901)
Abstract
In 1900 Marconi filed the application for the 7777 patent, which was of fundamental importance to the development of his system of wireless telegraphy, both from a commercial and a technological perspective. The innovations described in that patent constituted an important step forward in the attempt to achieve the crucial goal of tuned transmission, while at the same time enabling a considerable increase in communication distances. The device at the heart of this innovation was the jigger, a frequency transformer, which in both its prototype and commercial versions often features among the most iconic artefacts displayed in Marconian exhibitions.
