Its Gustave-Auguste Ferrié Birthday Born in Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne November 19, 1868 and died in Paris, France February 16, 1932, he was an engineer and army general, he contributed to the development of radio communication in France and was a pioneer in broadcasting. After attending the Polytechnic, he became engineer of radio transmissions to 1891. After being named in 1899 to the Franco-British committee to study the development of the wireless telegraph, he began his work with Guglielmo Marconi wireless telegraphy without trial between France and England. Gustave Ferrie led the transmitter antenna installation and the Eiffel Tower in 1903. The antenna atop the Eiffel Tower for long distance telegraphy, the same year in 1903 he perfected the wireless (TSF) by inventing a new electrolytic receiver. The range of the transmitter was first 400 km (250 miles) and is increased to almost 6,000 km (3,700 miles) in 1908. It conducts its work with three naval officers, Camille Tissot, Maurice Victor and Colin jeance This led him to develop military mobile transmitters to maintain radio contact with Paris. He also experimented with aircraft radio transmissions. Gustave Ferrie explained that the only practical system of wireless telegraphy at that time was the one who had to start from the theory of the airwaves and has developed through the experience of Edward Branly, through the work of Guillermo Marconi and experiences of Camille Papin Tissot and sought a perfect theory of the phenomenon. In 1917, he was named a Companion of the International Institute of Radio Engineers. In 1922 he was elected member of the Academy of Sciences and inspector general of military telegraphy. he was the first president of the National Committee of Geodesy and Geophysics (1920-1926). In 1931 he received the Medal of Honor for his pioneering work in the development of radio in France and in the world (IEEE Medal of Honor). he was President of the International Union of Radio and the International Commission on Radio Longitudes and vice-president of the International Office of Scientific Unions. he received the decoration Grand Officer of the Order of the Sword of Sweden Commander of the Order of St. Maurice and Lazarus, Commander of the Order of the Crown of Italy Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, Officer Academy colonial medal with clasp Casablanca Grand Officer of the Order of St Olav of Norway Officer of the Order of the Crown, Officer of the Order of Leopold by the Belgium Commander of the Order of St. Gava, Commander of the Order of the White Eagle of Serbia Great Cross of the Order of the Crown, Grand Officer of the Order of the Star of Romania Grand Officer of the Order of the Alawite Ouissan by Morocco Grand Officer of the Order of Dannebrog by Denmark Commander of Double Dragon China Grand Cross of the Order of the Rising Sun by Japan Commander of the Order of the Black Star by Benin Companion of St. Michael and St. George by Britain Knight of the Order of St. Stanislas, Commander of the Order of St. Anne of Russia Congressional Medal for distinguished service in the Navy medal Congress for distinguished service in the military by the United States of America Grand Officer of the Order of the Crown of Yugoslavia Yugoslavia Grand Officer of the Order of Polonia Restituta by Poland Grand Officer of the Order of the White Lion by Czechoslovakia Grand Officer of the Order of Nicham Zftikar Tunisia Grand Cross of the Dragon of Annam Annam by Photo Copyleft Its also Anniversary Yuan T.
