"Hertz made several of his experiments about radio using a device called
"Righi oscillator", that was nothing more than a spark gap with large balls
at each side. The system is charged by an induction coil, and after each
spark through the gap the system irradiates until the spark dissipates."

	Hadn't heard this before.  It is interesting because Marconi did
a lot of his earliest work with a Righi oscillator and, if memory serves
me right, studied under Professor Righi.
