Who was first, Bruce vs. Sterba?

A recent edit to this article claims that the Sterba array was the first "curtain" antenna developed. This seems to be wrong. The Sterba had U.S. patent number 1885151 dated 1929, but the Bruce array was already patented as number 1813143 in 1927. Unless someone knows of prior patents that might overturn these dates, I'm altering the article to claim the Bruce array as the "first". Steve Hosgood (talk) 09:02, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
