Castle Ridge Press promotes publications chronicling the early history of radio telegraphy, telephony and broadcasting. Much of the focus is on companies of the 1910s and early 1920s involved with domestic radio development and manufacturing, and the personalities behind them. These companies ranged from the large, established firms already active in the electrical engineering field to small-scale "High Street" businesses - all attracted by the huge market potential presented at the dawn of wireless broadcasting. Entrepreneurs, engineers, inventors - often dedicated to advancing the art of mass communication, sometimes eccentric and egotistical - the founders of these enterprises were a mixed bag.
