Heinrich Hertz An AV Pioneer

Grant's Perspective on ... Heinrich Hertz turns 155.

I noticed that it is Heinrich Hertz's 155 birthday today. His Wikipedia page says that " He was the first to conclusively prove the existence of electromagnetic waves by engineering instruments to transmit and receive radio pulses using experimental procedures that ruled out all other known wireless phenomena."

Our industry has honoured Hertz by naming the cycles per second of an electrical signal a Hertz.

The background image of the Inland AV website is our stylized "wave".


Happy Birthday Mr Hertz!
