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.

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 a military heliograph from the 1800s. It is from Victorian book of the 1890s on sports, games and pastimes. A heliograph is a solar telegraph system that signals by flashes of sunlight (generally using Morse code) reflected by a mirror. The flashes are produced by momentarily pivoting the mirror, or by interrupting the beam with a shutter. Here the light from the sun is concentrated via two mirrors (right). The light is aimed through the crosshairs (centre) on though the final shutter screen (left) to be transmitted to a distant recipient.

An old engraving of Gray’s ‘electro-harmonic telegraph’ of 1874. It is from a Victorian book of the 1880s. Elisha Gray (1835 –1901) was an American electrical engineer who co-founded the Western Electric Manufacturing Co. Gray is best known for his telephone prototype in 1876. His harmonic telegraph consisted of multi-tone transmitters, each tone with a telegraph key, transmitting musical tones. Oscillations were created by electromagnets and via a telegraph wire to a receiver (bott right) which reproduced the sound via a hollow metal cylinder on top of two magnets.

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). Long arms with 7 positions, plus a connecting crossbar with 4 different angles (left), created 196 symbols.
