Hughes printing telegraph
Hughes printing telegraph, historical artwork. This device was invented in 1855 by the British physicist David Edward Hughes (1831-1900). It was the first telegraph to print text at both the sending and receiving end. This meant that there was no longer a need for codes such as Morse code. The apparatus was powered by a weight (black, lower centre), although later models were powered by electricity. Illustration taken from Physique Populaire (1891), by E Desbeaux

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical artwork showcases the groundbreaking Hughes printing telegraph, a revolutionary device invented in 1855 by the brilliant British physicist David Edward Hughes. This remarkable creation marked a significant milestone in communication technology as it was the first telegraph capable of printing text at both ends of transmission. Gone were the days of deciphering Morse code; this ingenious apparatus eliminated the need for codes altogether. The illustration captures the essence of this mechanical marvel, with its intricate design and fascinating components. At its core lies a weight, depicted prominently in black at the lower center, which powered earlier versions of this extraordinary invention. Subsequent models harnessed electricity to drive their operations. Transporting us back to an era when innovation knew no bounds, Physique Populaire (1891) by E Desbeaux immortalizes this iconic piece of equipment that forever changed telecommunications history. The image portrays not only the physicality and complexity of this machine but also pays homage to its pivotal role in shaping our modern world. As we delve into its rich history, we are reminded that every key on its keyboard held immense power - each stroke connecting people across vast distances instantaneously. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us how far we have come from those early days when physics intertwined with communications to pave new paths for progress.
