An April 23, 1921 photograph of Albert Einstein being given a tour of the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) Brunswick New Jersey wireless station along with leading RCA scientist and officers as well as engineers and scientists from the General Electric Company, American Telephone and Telegraph Company, and Western Electric Company.

The 1921 RCA News also stated:^[6]

"Early in the morning Professor Einstein went to the Central Telegraph office at 64 Broad Street New York City. There he was met by Dr CP Steinmetz, Dr AN Goldsmith, Dr Irving Langmuir, Dr Albert W Hull, David Sarnofi, CH Taylor, and others. At this office Professor Einstein was shown the method of remote control whereby the operators there control the powerful transmitting apparatus of the New Jersey Station. While he was inspecting the station communication was established with the radio station at Nauen near Berlin. In order to demonstrate the efficiency of radio communication Professor Einstein sent a message of greeting to the officer in charge of the German station. Exactly six minutes later he received the following reply

"Many thinks and reciprocations. Most hearty greetings to the great German Scientist"

Officer in Charge at POZ

Shortly after this another message was sent to Count Von Arco, one of the leading German radio scientists. This message was signed by Einstein, Langmuir, Stein, and Goldsmith."

In 1919, this old New Brunswick, New Jersey Marconi Company wireless station on Easton Avenue in the Somerset section of Franklin Township, Somerset County, New Jersey became part of the newly organized Radio Corporation of America (RCA) as station WII under the World Wide Wireless logo. See the Marconi Station in New Jersey article for more info.

Note: This picture has the popular culture attribution of being a depiction of Nikola Tesla standing in the second row between Einstein and Steinmetz. Tesla historian Marc Seifer identified the man as AT&T engineer John Renshaw Carson.^[7] RCA News, Volume 2 By Radio Corporation of America (1921)^[8], Capital District Library Council Digital Collections and RCA Engineer, Volume 17, RCA Research and Engineering, 1971 page 4 also identify the man between Einstein and Steinmetz as "John Carson".
