tably impossible for an enemy vessel to 'jam' or in any way inter- fere with the radio-direction of such a previously synchronized torpedo because, simply, no ship may have enough sending stations aboard or nearby to 'jam' every air-wavelength possible or to otherwise succeed except by barest accident to deflect the course of the oncoming radio controlled torpedo-unless, of course, it happened to have the exact synchronization pattern between sender- ship and torpedo. (Minor, mostly typographical improvements have been made here within this quote while dropping its originally all-capitals lettering; in the patent itself [87], "block control" is said rather than "jam.") Lamarr next brought her and Antheil's secret system concept to the attention of the then newly government-established National Inventors Council, which soon (quoting from [92]) " classed Miss Lamarr's inven- tion as in the 'red hot' category. The only inkling of what it might be was the announcement that it was related to remote control of apparatus employed in warfare." That is how it was guardedly publicized by the U.S. Department of Commerce after being scrutinized by Charles F. Kettering, the noted General Motors inventor who was also a pioneer (with Elmer A. Sperry) in remotely piloted vehicles. Despite this first reaction of enthusiasm mixed with caution, the Lamarr (Markey)-Antheil patent appears to have been routinely issued and pub- lished, curiously without imposition of a Secrecy Order. It may be that such potential restraint from the U.S. Patent Office was precluded by the fact that Lamarr's continuing (until 1953) Austrian citizenship rendered her an "enemy alien" during most of World War II. Although this personal cir- cumstance is indeed reflected in the patent case file [93], it seems to have been a mere technicality, which did not impair her screen-actress career or her image to the American public. At one of the many war-bond rallies through which she expressed her loy- alty, Hedy Lamarr told a crowd of 10,000 in Elizabeth, NJ, th
