Eiffel Tower and wireless station, France, 1914-1915
A guard on duty next to a wireless station (right) at the base of the Eiffel Tower, Paris, France, during World War I. The underground station was used by the French Military from 1909. Antennas on the Eiffel Tower were used to transmit signals up to 6000 kilometres, far enough to reach the USA and transatlantic ships. It was also used to intercept German transmissions, providing intelligence to the allies. Designed by the French civil engineer Gustave Eiffel (1832-1923), the Eiffel Tower was built for the International Exhibition staged in Paris in 1889 to commemorate the centenary of the French Revolution. Constructed from iron, it was the tallest building in the world until 1930. Photographed circa 1914-1915.
