Abstract
QUITE early in its history, the Marconi Company experienced a need for providing its recruits to the engineering and operating staffs with some centralized instruction in the technique of wireless communication. This technique was naturally ahead of any training provided by the universities or elsewhere, and, accordingly, a residential school for the training of probationary engineers of the Marconi Company was opened in 1901. This event established a notable precedent in industrial training institutions. From this date, the School has been in nearly continuous operation, with modifications and expansion of its activities from time to time to meet the demands presented by the progress in communication. Some two years ago it was decided to make very substantial increases in the facilities provided, and on November 29 last, representatives of the technical press were invited to inspect the new buildings and equipment of the Marconi School of Wireless Communication at Chelmsford. Its premises have been rebuilt and equipped on modern lines, its curriculum has been reorganized and additional appointments have been made to the staff.
