A hundred years ago this month, the August 1922 issue of Science and Invention carried this self-explanatory radio idea, which had been sent in to the magazine by one Edward E. Young. The combination radio-table lamp was “more adapted for radio than for lighting purposes, but it will give sufficient light to enable a person to read.” The author noted that the Audion tube produced quite a bright light. He also noted that a crystal detector set could be built in the same fashion, with a regular lamp built on top, which would provide a distinct novelty.
