Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Beardslee´s Military Telegraph: The History of Its Invention, Introduction, and Adoption by the Government of the United States A Portable telegraph for military and naval purposes has long been a desideratum, and the want of such an apparatus became more apparent during the early stages of the rebellion in the United States, which soon spread over a vast area of both land and water, where the Federal armies were required to extend their operations in the midst of a population more or less in sympathy with the rebels, and from whom reliable intelligence, as to the movements of the enemy, could not be obtained. This suggested the necessity for some more reliable and expeditious method than any then known, of communicating orders and intelligence between the different corps of an army, and between the land and naval forces cooperating, as also between vessels and reconnoitering parties sent on shore. The then known system of telegraphing was, during the commencement of the war, tried with indifferent success; but the objections to this system proved to be numerous and serious, and rendered it impracticable for active service in the field with a moving army, or with a navy. The most serious objections to this system were found to be: First. Galvanic batteries, necessary to this system, were not adapted to active service in the field, were difficult of transportation, and often failed to work when most wanted, and required great skill to manage them.
