TELEGRAPH (Gr. Tike, far, and rypaq5eiv, to write)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 510 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TELEGRAPH (Gr. Tike, far, and rypaq5eiv, to write) , the name given to an apparatus for the transmission of intelligence to a distance. Etymologically the word implies that the messages are written, but its earliest use was of appliances that depended on visual signals, such as the semaphore or
optical
  telegraph of Claude
Chappe
 . The word is still some-times employed in this sense, as of the ship's telegraph, by means of which orders are mechanically transmitted from the navigating
bridge
  to the
engine
  room, but when used without qualification it usually denotes telegraphic apparatus worked by electricity, whether the signals that express the words of the
message
  are visual, auditory or written.
Land
  and Submarine Telegraphy will be considered in
Part
  I., with a
section
  on the commercial aspects. In
Part
  II. Wireless Telegraphy is dealt with.
