The Wireless World (magazine)

The Wireless World Magazine was a British electronics journal. It began in 1911 as the Marconigraph. In April, 1913 it became Wireless World and was issued continuously under this name until 1986 when it became Electronics & Wireless World.

History

The Marconi Company published the first issue of the journal "The Marconigraph" in April 1911. This monthly magazine was the first significant journal dedicated to wireless communication, and it circulated largely among Marconi engineers and operators.

In April 1913, after two years and 24 issues, The Marconigraph was superseded by "The Wireless World". An Illustrated Monthly Magazine for all interested in Wireless Telegraphy and Telephony and the first issue was sold on news-stands.

Publication of Wireless World continued uninterrupted throughout World War I, and from 4 April 1920 (vol. 8 no. 1) publication frequency was increased to fortnightly

From 1 April 1922 it became known as The Wireless World and Radio Review following a merger with The Radio Review, a monthly journal that had first been published in London in October 1919. (All issues of Radio Review are listed and readable below) With the same issue, publication frequency of Wireless World became weekly.

With the outbreak of World War II and the expected shortages of paper and other resources, the publication reverted to being monthly, a frequency that it retained until its end.

The title was changed in September 1986 to Electronics and Wireless World, and from January 1996 (Vol 102, No.1718), to Electronics World.
