<dl><dd>"<i>Early in the morning Professor Einstein went to the Central Telegraph office at 64 Broad Street New York City. There he was met by Dr CP Steinmetz, Dr AN Goldsmith, Dr Irving Langmuir, Dr Albert W Hull, David Sarnofi, CH Taylor, and others. At this office Professor Einstein was shown the method of remote control whereby the operators there control the powerful transmitting apparatus of the New Jersey Station. While he was inspecting the station communication was established with the radio station at Nauen near Berlin. In order to demonstrate the efficiency of radio communication Professor Einstein sent a message of greeting to the officer in charge of the German station.

Original Text: After World War I, the old New Brunswick Marconi Wireless Station on Easton Avenue in Franklin Township (Somerset) became part of the newly organized Radio Corporation of America (RCA) as station W.I.I. under the World Wide Wireless logo. RCA's David Sarnoff conducted an inspection tour of the facility in 1921. Some of the greatest scientists of the era attended. From left to right: Three unidentified men, David Sarnoff, Thomas J. Hayden, Ernst Julius Berg, S. Benedict, Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Charles Proteus Steinmetz, A. N. Goldsmith, A. Malsin, Irving Langmuir, Albert W. Hull, E. B. Pillsbury, Saul Dushman, Richard Howland Ranger, George Ashley Campbell and two unidentified men. Some of the unidentified men might be John Carson, and Ernst Alexanderson. Others may be station engineers like Hayden, who is next to Sarnoff. Second man from right in back is Lee de Forest. Man on the far right is Guglielmo Marconi.
