I was just reading a book with collected Science Fiction stories
published over the years and one was called 'Old Faithfull' about a
Martian scientist who used said device to help with communications w/
Earthlings.

(It's a decent short story, I recommend it...)


Hey, look what some Google work turned up:

Here is an eBook cite, but I have no affiliation:

Anywho, funny how fiction (1930's!) can turn out to be relevant in
real life.
