Augustin Maior, omul din spatele știinţei
Augustin Maior, the man behind the science of multiple telephony

Summary/Abstract: Born in Reghin, Augustin Maior was the engineer, physicist, professor and academician who laid the bases of multiple telephony in 1906, when he managed to transmit 5 conversations simultaneously on a single 15 km telephone line, without interference between the signals, a turning point of modern telecommunications development. The paper does not focus on his scientific activity but less known aspects of his private life. By using instruments like oral history, lived history, memories of his grandson and his nephew, this study reveals Augustin Maior as a father, grandfather, colleague or friend.
