Fessenden, Reginald Aubrey, 1866-1932 : Reginald Fessenden, inventor, was born in Bolton East, Quebec, and attended Bishop's University. He worked in New York with the Thomas Edison Company from 1886-1990 as a tester and chemist. In the 1890's, he taught electrical engineering at Purdue University and the Western University of Pennsylvania. In 1900, he set up his own experimental wireless telegraphy station for the U.S. weather office. In January 1906, he made the first two way Morse broadcasts across the Atlantic. During World War I, he invented submarine detection equipment based on his previous invention of the senic depth finder. By 1932, he had over 500 patents in his name.
