    Cockaday is Laurence M. Cockaday, a radio expert who had written a book on the subject in 1922. Here's a review: "Radio Telephony for Everyone," by Laurence M. Cockaday
    (Stokes), Is a clear nontechnical explanation of the working theory of radio in general, and the receiver and transmitter in particular, so that the boy of sixteen and the man of sixty will read It with equal interest and satisfaction.
    Mr. Cockaday. technical editor of Popular Radio and The Modulator, has studied and worked in radio telephony for fifteen years. He built one of the first broadcasting stations In the United States. During the war he served as radio instructor in the navy, and while there Invented a radio transmitter extensively used during the war. His position as technical editor on radio publications keeps him in touch with the latest developments In the field, so that readers of hls book are certain to find definite, up-to-date Information upon which to work."
    The Washington Times, July 16, 1922.
