www.arlingtoncemetery.net/gosquier.htm is his record at Arlington Cemetery. "As Chief Signal Officer during World War I, Squier was responsible not only for radio, but also was charged with the entire aviation and communications mission of the United States Army. During the war, Squier succeeded in opening two great Army laboratories one at Fort Monmouth for radio and another at Langley Field, Virginia, for aviation. Squier can be credited with the Army's institutionalization of scientific research and development for military purposes." "Shortly before his retirement in 1924, Squier turned his attention to a new application of the transmission technologies he helped to develop: piped-in music. His idea led to the establishment in 1922 of the music service Wired Radio, which is much better known by its present name, given it by Squier shortly before his death: Muzak."
