Charles F. Neergaard, aided by Harry Royal and Al Gross, devised a hospital wide selective calling transmitter. Mounted on a Cleveland hospital’s tenth floor, the device uses crystals to direct 800 signals to as many receivers with a four mile range. Each buzzer calls only the intended doctor, lasting under five millionths of a second, keeping rest undisturbed.
