  • History of the Emergency Communications Center
    History of the Emergency Communications Center Station X in 1964 The Emergency Communications Center, as it is known today, was first established in 1931 as "Station X" inside Cincinnati's City Hall; that marks the first time the city's responders were dispatched by radio to emergencies. Over the years, ECC's operations and technology have evolved significantly. The center has moved physically from City Hall to Eden Park, on to Police Headquarters and finally to "Knob Hill" in South Fairmont, where it overlooks Union Terminal and the city's downtown. The name of the center has changed several times - but the mission of ECC, getting help to people in Cincinnati, has been a constant for 90 years. Emergency Communications Before ECC The Cincinnati Police Department dates back to a night watch established in 1802, with the police force being organized in 1859. Shortly after the Civil War, in 1866, a telegraph system replaced the need for messengers running between police stations. This system linked stations and some public locations in the city. Telephones were adopted in 1879, which allowed for the installation of the Police Call Box in locations around the city. It also enabled officers to periodically check in with their station while out on patrol. The Greater Cincinnati Police Museum has call boxes on display and a history of their use on the museum website. The Cincinnati Fire Department was established in 1853, and in the late 1800s, a fire watchtower was manned to spot fires and ring bells to alert the city's firefighters. A Fire Alarm Telegraph Office served the city in the early 1900s, receiving alarms and signaling fire companies.

  • Historical Timeline of Canadian Telecommunications Achievements
    Historical Timeline of Canadian Telecommunications Achievements July 26, 1874 Alexander Graham Bell discloses idea for a telephone to his father in Brantford, Ontario. 1880 Bell Canada is incorporated. February 1, 1881 Bell Canada installs its first public telephone in Lancefield’s Stationery Store, in Hamilton, Ontario. The telephone is not equipped with a coin collector and customers pay the storekeeper. June 11, 1881 Bell Canada successfully places the world's first international submarine telephone cable between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan (US). 1885 Alberta's first telephone call, between Fort Edmonton and the St. Albert mission. August 10, 1876 Alexander Graham Bell's Double Pole Membrane Transmitter and Iron Box Receiver are used to transmit and receive the world's first one-way long distance telephone call from Brantford to Paris, Ontario. 1887 The first long distance call, between Edmonton and Battleford, Saskatchewan. December 7, 1895 The Northern Electric & Manufacturing Co., now Nortel Networks, is organized, as a spin-off of the Bell Mechanical Department. April 13, 1900 A common battery service is introduced in Bell Canada’s territory in Ottawa, Ontario. Instead of turning a crank on the telephone to signal the operator, the customer merely picks up the receiver. The batteries are removed from the customers’ premises to the central office. They are still there today, maintaining telephone service even during a power failure. 1903 Bell Canada becomes subject to the Railway Act of 1903 and changes to rates for telephone service must now be approved by the Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada. 1904 The City of Edmonton purchased the Edmonton District Telephone Company.

  • Carterfone: My Story Nicholas Johnson

L.J. 677 (2008). Available at: http://digitalcommons.law.scu.edu/chtlj/vol25/iss3/5 This Symposium is brought to you for free and open access by the Journals at Santa Clara Law Digital Commons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Santa Clara High Technology Law Journal by an authorized administrator of Santa Clara Law Digital Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. CARTERFONE: MY STORY Nicholas Johnsont Abstract Thomas Carter invented the "Carterfone"-an acoustic coupling device that enabled the connection of a telephone handset to a radio transceiver.' AT&T, the dominant telephone company at the time, advised its customers that the Carterfone was a prohibited "interconnecting device" under FCC Tariff No. 132, which essentially made it unlawful for telephone subscribers to connect their own equipment to AT&T'S telephone network.2 Carter brought suit against AT&T in federal court, alleging that AT&T'S warnings to its3 customers constituted a violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. Carter'ssuit ultimately culminated in the FCC's landmark Carterfone decision.4 In Carterfone, we held that "applicationof [FCC Tariff No. 132] to bar the Carterfone in the future would be unreasonable and unduly discriminatory... and that the provisionsprohibiting the use of customer-provided interconnecting devices should accordingly be stricken.

  • CHAPTER 8:HISTORICAL and CULTURAL RESOURCES Overview a Brief History of Chesterfield County
    CHAPTER 8: HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES Overview Chesterfield County enjoys the distinction of being an area with one of the longest periods of continuous habitation in the country. In looking towards the future, it is important to understand, and to appropriately preserve and promote the county’s rich historical and cultural foundation. Not only can students experience hands-on learning at these historic sites, but Chesterfield County can also increase local business development through tourism. DESIRED OUTCOMES OF THIS CHAPTER: • Preservation of Historic Places and Structures • Leverage Historic Assets to Create a Sense of Place and Foster Tourism • Support Partnerships and Private Preservation of Historic Resources • Utilize Historic Places for Events, Education and Other Unique Experiences A Brief History of Chesterfield County The county was originally inhabited by the Appamatuck Tribe, one of many tribes ruled by Chief Wahasonacock. In 1611, Sir Thomas Dale led a group of colonists from the original English settlement at Jamestown to the “Citie of Henricus” located on Farrar’s Island. In 1613, Dale seized various lands around the area where John Rolfe cultivated a salable variety of tobacco for English export for the Virginia Company of London. Tobacco became the colony’s main export and source of revenue. In 1619, the first iron furnace, and one of the first industrial developments in America, was established on Falling Creek near the James River. Other early American accomplishments included private property ownership, beginning of public education and experiments in representative government. In March 1622, Chief Wahasonacock’s successor, Chief Opechancanough, launched a coordinated attack on area settlements, many of which never recovered and were abandoned.
