please show me some detailed info on edwim armstrong!! --DO-DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1Italic text Hello, is the date of E. Armstrongs death the right one? I've read on several other pages the date Jan. 31, 1954? Also I have read the Super Heterodyne receiver was invented by Armstrong 1918, the patent (No. 1,342,885 Method of Receiving High Frequency Oscillations) was filed 1919 and patented on June 8, 1920.
On the German version of this article the date of death is 1954, Jan. 31, too.
Good point on the date of his death. We have some documents here about it; I'll look into it and update accordingly. Ajschu 15:11, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Hello, was Armstrong really married twice? I have read two biographies, and neither mention a wife earlier than Marion, his widow. Both biographies show pictures of Armstrong and bride Marion on their honeymoon (with his early portable radio).
After checking with two biographies, I deleted the reference to the "second wife", since no source that I could find made any mention of a previous wife. The reason I feel this change should be made is that Marion was such a large part of his life and his legacy. She was an enormous influence on his middle and later career, and she persevered in obtaining justice (as much as it could be done at that late date) for Armstrong's cause. user:Tom Bartlett
--- Why has no one discribe his suicide death from jumping from a hotel window. as well as the reasons why he offed him self. This has a lot of valuble historic information pertaning to the formation of modern radio netowrks and companies including the FCC.
