There is some evidence to show that Edison invented a wireless telegraphy
system even before Hertz discovered EM waves.  The only application
Edison ever used it for was a method for a train the pick up telegraph
messages off the wire parallel to the track while moving.
Sorry there is no reference for this it was in a popular electronics
around 1972-3.
