Résumé

The first biography of the American inventor known as "The Father of Remote Control" (1888-1963), who pioneered electronic remote control for modern radio devices, missile guidance systems, variable pitch propellers, other military innovations, and single dial radio tuning. After importing medieval architectural elements from Europe, he built the Hammond Castle, now a museum in Gloucester, Massachusetts. This book is an updated and digitzed reprint of the 1987 biography of John Hays Hammond, Jr.

She has recently updated and digitized that work to make it again available to readers. She has appeared on national television, been heard on national radio, including NPR's "Morning Edition, " and often speaks before live audiences. Nancy's journalistic work includes New York Times, the Huffington Post, New England Quarterly and American History magazine.
