University of Houston: Engines of Our Ingenuity: No. 435: Hedy Lamarr, Inventor

Curated by ACT

Read about the remarkable actress Hedy Lamarr who, together with composer George Antheil, invented a technology that used frequency hopping to improve the effectiveness of Allied torpedoes during WWII. Their invention was not put into use until after the war when it was used against Cuba in 1962. This is a transcript of a radio broadcast.
