The song refers to one of Marconi's then-new radio-oriented inventions, the Wireless Telephone, which became publicly available that year.

Induction coil

They were used by Hertz to demonstrate the existence of electromagnetic waves, as predicted by James Maxwell and by Lodge and Marconi in the first research into radio waves.

Marconi Instruments

Radio Day

Popov has generally been recognized in Eastern Europe as an "inventor of radio" (although it may be more due to politics than historical evidence), in contrast to the West's recognition of Guglielmo Marconi as the first to develop a viable system based on radio (Herzian) waves.

Legends and myths regarding RMS Titanic

In modified versions of this legend, Sarnoff was not the first to hear the news (though Sarnoff willingly promoted this notion), but he and others did staff the Marconi wireless station (telegraph) atop the Wanamaker Department Store in New York City, and for three days, relayed news of the disaster and names of survivors to people waiting outside.
