... Your comment about over simplifying reminds me of a very early explanation
of radio communication - or was it telegraph? I can remember only a little:
"It's like wiggling the tail of a cat. It makes a sound at the other end. Only
there's no cat."
Does anyone have that quote?
“The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The ordinary
telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull the tail in New York, and it
meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is exactly the same, only without the
cat.”
