The first commercial AM Audion vacuum tube radio transmitter, built in 1914 by Lee De Forest who invented the Audion in 1906. During the mid-1920s, amplifying vacuum tubes revolutionized radio receivers and transmitters. John Ambrose Fleming developed a vacuum tube diode. Lee de Forest placed a screen, added a "grid" electrode, creating the triode.
