1915 and 1916 when the USS dolphin 1915 and 1916 when the USS dolphin successfully interfered with a torpedo successfully interfered with a torpedo successfully interfered with a torpedo launched by Hammond over distances of launched by Hammond over distances of launched by Hammond over distances of 200 to 300 ft but the Hammond system was 200 to 300 ft but the Hammond system was 200 to 300 ft but the Hammond system was successful when the torpedo was launched successful when the torpedo was launched successful when the torpedo was launched farther away the war department also farther away the war department also farther away the war department also wanted to sustain visual contact of the wanted to sustain visual contact of the wanted to sustain visual contact of the weapon so Jack began working on a device weapon so Jack began working on a device weapon so Jack began working on a device to be directed from flying to be directed from flying to be directed from flying machines every problem he encountered he machines every problem he encountered he machines every problem he encountered he was able to was able to was able to overcome the technology was still too overcome the technology was still too overcome the technology was still too new to be used during World War one and new to be used during World War one and new to be used during World War one and the military kept avoiding expenditure the military kept avoiding expenditure the military kept avoiding expenditure of any funds ostensibly waiting for of any funds ostensibly waiting for of any funds ostensibly waiting for Tesla's fundamental teletom Matic Tesla's fundamental teletom Matic Tesla's fundamental teletom Matic patents to expire Jack finally presented patents to expire Jack finally presented patents to expire Jack finally presented his case before members of Congress he his case before members of Congress he his case before members of Congress he stated that he had overtures from stated that he had overtures from stated that he had overtures from foreign governments but he would refuse foreign governments but he would refuse foreign governments but he would refuse to negotiate with them because of the to negotiate with them because of the to negotiate with them because of the importance of the work and loyalty to importance of the work and loyalty to importance of the work and loyalty to his country and so in 199 while his his country and so in 199 while his his country and so in 199 while his father John Hayes Hammond senior father John Hayes Hammond senior father John Hayes Hammond senior continued to gain publicity for his idea continued to gain publicity for his idea continued to gain publicity for his idea of a world Court to prevent War the US of a world Court to prevent War the US of a world Court to prevent War the US Congress and President Wilson approved Congress and President Wilson approved Congress and President Wilson approved an appropriation of an appropriation of an appropriation of $417,000 for the war patents for Hammond $417,000 for the war patents for Hammond $417,000 for the war patents for Hammond son however still no monies changed son however still no monies changed son however still no monies changed hands in the 192s Jack began working hands in the 192s Jack began working hands in the 192s Jack began working with David sanov who along with gulo with David sanov who along with gulo with David sanov who along with gulo Marcone and Edwin Armstrong was forming Marcone and Edwin Armstrong was forming Marcone and Edwin Armstrong was forming the seeds of the radio Corporation of the seeds of the radio Corporation of the seeds of the radio Corporation of America America America RCA and in 1923 the fruits of his leg RCA and in 1923 the fruits of his leg RCA and in 1923 the fruits of his leg were paid off when Jack sold a series of
