Description

Explore the origins of modern communication with Cooke and Wheatstone: And the Invention of the Electric Telegraph. Originally published in 1965, this Routledge Library Edition provides a detailed historical account of the partnership between Charles Wheatstone and William Cooke. Together, they developed the first long distance messenger system that was faster than a horse, changing how information traveled forever. This volume traces the development of the electric telegraph, starting with the earlier scientific work that made the English invention possible. It follows the unique path these technologies took to reach England and examines the relationship between two men with opposing personalities who were driven to work together. Readers will learn about the early telegraph lines and their implementation on major transit routes, including the London and Birmingham Railway and the Great Western Railway. This book is an essential resource for those interested in the history and philosophy of science.
