An old engraving of Morse Recording Telegraph of the 1830s. It is from a Victorian book of the 1890s on discoveries and inventions during the 1800s. American Samuel Morse (1791–1872) independently developed and patented a recording electric telegraph in 1837. Morse's assistant Alfred Vail developed an instrument that was called the register for recording the received messages. It embossed dots and dashes on a moving paper tape by a stylus (centre left) which was operated by an electromagnet. The tape is fed from a spool by a clockwork motor (left).

An old engraving of a Victorian ‘alarm’ dial-telegraph station. It is from a mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. This electro-magnetic device is powered by the foot treadle. This machine would be connected to similar machines within a building or compound. With the dial’s needle in the vertical position it is receive mode. Any incoming message received shows on the upper, viewing dial. This could indicate messages such as ‘fire’, ‘thieves’, ‘door not locked’ or similar. The main dial can be turned to various set positions to transmit similar signals.

An old engraving of a Morse transmitting plate from the Victorian era. It is from a book of the 1890s on discoveries and inventions during the 1800s. Morse code is a method used in telecommunication to encode text characters as sequences of two different signal durations called dots and dashes (dits and dahs). The code is named after American Samuel Morse, one of the inventors of the telegraph. It was first used in the 1840s. International Morse Code (Continental Morse Code) of 1865 encodes the 26 alphabet letters, one non-Latin letter, numerals, punctuation and procedural signals (prosigns).

An old engraving of a printing telegraph stand designed by George L Anders. It is from a mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. The stand has a keyboard and visible dial or typewheel. The typewheel at the sending end was synchronised to a similar wheel at the receiving end. When the character key was pressed at the home station, it actuated the typewheel at the distant station just as the same character moved into the printing position – an example of a synchronous data transmission system. When transmitting power was provided to the electric magneto by the foot treadle.

An old engraving of an optical telegraph (semaphore). It is from a Victorian book of the 1880s. It involved a line of stations (towers about 5–20 miles apart), passing visual signals or semaphores (centre pic). Station operators watched their nearest towers through a telescope. When the ‘arms’ spelt out letters/symbols, they would pass these to the next tower. The most used type was by Frenchman Claude Chappe (1792).

An old engraving of Gray’s telegraphic transmitter (top) and receiver (below). It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. Elisha Gray (1835 –1901) was an American electrical engineer who co-founded the Western Electric Manufacturing Company. Gray is best known for his development of a telephone prototype in 1876 in Highland Park, Illinois, USA. He also designed this composite tone device. The transmitter shows a single key connected to two electro-magnets. The receiver used a wooden soundbox covered in thin metal to reproduce sounds.
