Thomas Edison describes in his patent application for the wireless telegraph
in May of 1885 as follows;
For receiving signals I locate in said circuit between condensing surface
and the ground a diaphragm sounder which is preferably one of my electro
motograph telephone receivers.

The first wireless telegraph picked up the telegraph signals with a loud
speaking telephone. De Forest patented his triode in 1907 twenty two years
later. For his first radio he used an Edison loud speaking telephone.
