hey... i have been trying to find out anything relating to teh mysterious deaths of marconi scientists working on defence contracts from the 60s up to the ealry nineties. if any one has any info or helpful and factual acvcounts let me know

I saw a BBC 2 documamtary called "Scandals" just half an hour ago, stating that 25 Marconi employees died under strange circumstances. There's a website with a conspiracy theory, but I'm not sure if you can trust it: http://www.totse.com/en/conspiracy/institutional_analysis/sdi-art1.html

sssshh! unless you want to die prematurely in a nasty and undignifying manner.

[edit] Merger with Wireless Telegraph Trading Signal Company page

  • The "Wireless Telegraph Trading Signal Company" page should be completely deleted, as there was never actually was a company called that. The original London company, founded July 20, 1897, was named the Wireless Telegraph and Signal Company, Limited. On March, 1900, this was changed to Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Company, Limited.

OK, I went ahead and did the merge. Both names are frequently given as the name of the original company ([1] for example), so I think it would be most helpful to users to leave the "telegraph trading signal" entry, redirecting to here.Lisamh 22:25, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
