More Info about a 2 Way Radio

On March 9, 1902, The Atlanta Constitution provided a glimpse of Stubblefield by offering the following characterization of the man and his 2 way radio device: "The nature of the apparatus used by the inventor is not known. He positively declines at this time to give out either technical descriptions or diagrams of the vital part of his apparatus. All that is exposed to view while his apparatus is in working order is the ordinary commercial telephone transmitter and receiver. Within a brightly polished box, which is not opened in public, the inventor conceals his secret which he says he will not disclose until it is perfected to the smallest detail."
