Radio World

Radio World is the trade publication that carried the January 29, 1927 article (p. 11, byline Robert Bangs) presenting Palmer H. Craig's "electromagnetic detector and amplifier." The article claimed a $100,000 Westinghouse offer, reported that the plates "generate the energy necessary to operate the radio," and in the same piece recorded Alfred N. Goldsmith's denial of the offer and rejection of the underlying premise.

The article also noted that earlier attempts at bismuth rectification had failed on efficiency, dependability, and the supply of suitable metals.
