• the optical telegraph was invented to fight the french revolution
  • soon after other nations also developed the optical telegraph
• Ralph Wedgewood made an electrical telegraph
  • but the british admiralty says no and never used it
• Francis Ronald came up with it again 2 years later the admiralty refused it again
  • the admiralty decided "telegraphs where wholly unessisary due to the existance of semophores and flag waving"
• the telegraph owes its existance to the Galvanometer which was created during experiments testing galvanism
• due to the steam engine trains have sprung up and need to not crash into eachother
  • so the telegraph was needed for instant communication
  • several people around the same time approach the railroads and get pattants to create telegraphs
• finally Morse made his own telegraph
  • was powered by clockwork like the verge and foliate clock
  • finally morse code was created
