  • Abstract
    The telegraph, which is the oldest electrical industry, celebrated its centennial on May 24, 1944. Technically, its operations have changed greatly during recent years, but the only data which have been published regarding such changes pertain to specific applications or developments. The present paper is intended to present an over-all picture of American telegraphy as it is conducted today by the one company which is engaged solely in the domestic telegraph business.
