Camille Papin Tissot (15 October 1868, Brest, France – 2 October 1917, Arcachon), was a French naval officer and pioneer of wireless telegraphy who established the first French operational radio connections at sea. == Life == Camille Papin Tissot was the second child of Pierre Tissot and Adeline Alexandrine Gérardin, born on 15 October 1868. Their third child, Esther Adèle Tissot, was born on 1 April 1872. The two surviving children, Camille and Esther, were primarily raised by their mother, as their father was often at sea. Recommended by his father, Camille Tissot entered the naval college at Brest in 1884 when he was 16 years old. He studied navigation on the school ship Le Borda until 1886, and was then posted to the port of Brest. In the first years of his career in the navy, he was successively posted to various school ships and warships, finally to the cruiser "Coetlogon". He then turned to shore duty as of 23 January 1891. He agreed to temporarily occupy one of the teaching positions in physics and chemistry of the naval school. He stayed on for 21 years as professor in École Navale.〔(Officiers et anciens élèves )〕 The passion of sciences having been transmitted to him by his father, he obtained the degree of Bachelor of the Physical sciences. It was as professor in École Navale that he became devoted to the study of the electric oscillations and their application in the maritime field. Tissot acquired ranks during his various assignments: * 1 August 1886: Aspirant of second class, * 5 October 1887: Aspirant of first class, * 5 October 1889: Enseigne de vaisseau, * 22 August 1896: Lieutenant de vaisseau, * 19 April 1912: Capitaine de frégate, This last promotion was exceptional for a sailor who practically never sailed, and it was due to the importance of the work undertaken by Tissot for the Navy. In 1894 Camille Tissot met and married Jeanne Emma Stapfer, a 20-year-old woman of an Alsacienne family who moved to Brest in 1870. He nominally converted to the Catholic religion at the request of his father-in-law, although his own beliefs were socialist and atheist. Among the guests at his wedding were Albert Turpain and Marcel Cachin, very committed member of Parliament and future founder of French Communist Party in 1920. They had one daughter (Camille). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Camille Tissot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
