Castle Ridge Press promotes publications chronicling the early history of radio telegraphy, telephony and broadcasting. The focus is on companies of the first decades of the twentieth century involved with wireless communications and domestic radio development and the personalities behind them. On the domestic front, these companies ranged from large, established firms already active in the electrical engineering field to small-scale "High Street" businesses - all attracted by the huge market potential at the dawn of wireless broadcasting. Entrepreneurs, engineers, inventors, the founders of these enterprises were a mixed bag - sometimes eccentric, often cutthroat and with a few noteworthy exceptions, nearly always egotistical.
