Are you sure that this was the method (two finger/thumb key) first used when wireless Marconi systems were first developed?

Good call Kay Kay! I overlooked that one! And, yes, the STRAIGHT KEY button is held between the thumb and middle finger with the index finger resting on the button.

The MORSE CODE system (which the Marconi system is based on) was invented in 1837 and was the SAME type/system of Morse code that brought about the demise of the Pony Express.
