The first biography of the American inventor known as "The Father of Remote Control" (1888-1963), who pioneered electronic remote control for modern radio devices, missile guidance systems, variable pitch propellers, other military innovations, and single dial radio tuning. After importing medieval architectural elements from Europe, he built the Hammond Castle, now a museum in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Originally published in 1987 under author's pen name, then Nancy Rubin and available at the Hammond Castle Museum, it is now in a digitized and updated version.

In February of 2023 my wife and I stayed in the cottage built on top of John Hammond Jr unfinished Castle next to his fathers estate. The cottage owners offered up just a glimpse of the history behind this man, John Hammond Jr. Fascinating man , great listen. His life should be made into a movie.
