XVI — The Tower · Drop 1
A wireless message sent on one frequency can be heard by anyone tuned to it. Tesla's fix was to use several at once: the receiver responds only when every one of its tuned circuits is triggered together, so a stray signal does nothing. It's an early idea for keeping wireless messages private, from the first years of radio.
Restored from the original U.S. patent and printed in amber on black.
