Leonid Kupriyanovich and his mobiles
In 1957, in the 8th issue of the journal Science and Life, a photograph of Leonid Kupriyanovich’s first mobile phone was published. On the right is an automatic telephone radio station: “The ATP is connected to any subscriber, just like a regular telephone, we only manage its work from a distance.” In the same year, a patent was granted for an invention .
"Science and Life", 8, 1957
The magazine “Behind the Wheel” in 1957 published a photo of Leonid Kupriyanovich with an LK-1 phone in the car. To the right of the phone is a speaker for a speakerphone. An excerpt from the article "By phone from the car" :
')
... Among the stream of cars rushing along the highway "Moskvich". The car goes fast. The driver is in a hurry — there is a long way ahead to the Great Volga, where his fisherman friends should already be expecting. But did they leave?
The driver opened the lid of a small box on the dashboard and, seeing the round disk of the phone, dialed the number he needed. He barely had time to turn the little lever to the “conversation” mark, as from a loudspeaker built into the shield, long beeps were heard and a female voice almost immediately:
- Hello! I'm listening to…
The driver slightly brought his head to the windshield, in the stand of which there was a window of the microphone taken up by the grille:
- It's me, Lidia Vladimirovna. What, Vasily left? .. I went to the store? Ask him to call me back ...
Turning the handle in the opposite direction is quiet again in the cabin. A few minutes later, from the loudspeaker came the high sound of a buzzer call: from his apartment a friend-fisherman called a car on the phone, which was already ten kilometers from Moscow.
What is it? Fairy tale? The head of a science fiction novel? Not at all. Phone in the car, on which you can talk on the go with any subscriber, there is. It was designed and built by a young Moscow engineer L. Kupriyanovich.
Engineer Leonid Kupriyanovich demonstrates the capabilities of a mobile phone. Science and Life, 10, 1958.
In 1960, the assembly scheme of such a miniature radio transmitter was also published. By the way, there is a book by Kupriyanovich on this topic: Pocket radio stations .
By 1961, Kupriyanovich’s telephone had been transformed to a very tiny size.
Important question for the last photo:
Is it true or myth?
