AUTHOR OF " THE PRACTICAL TELEPHONE HANDBOOK " LONDON SIR ISAAC PITMAN & SONS, LTD. PARKER STREET, KINGSWAY, W.C.2 BATH, MELBOURNE, TORONTO, NEW YORK PRINTED BY SIR ISAAC PITMAN & SONS, LTD. BATH, ENGLAND PREFACE THIS book is intended as a short general introduction to the three industries, or vocations, dealing with the electrical transmission of intelligence, which have now assumed such very great importance in the intercourse between the peoples of all civilized nations. They are all really different branches of the oldest of them, which was born about 1834 telegraphy, commercially ; the telephone industry commencing about forty-five " " years later, in 1878-9, and that of wireless in 1904, when an arrangement was made by which the British Post Offices received messages for transmission by Marconi wireless stations. The historical method has been used, as it was con- sidered best adapted to impress the principles of working on readers new to the subjects dealt with, by leading up from the simpler to the more complex apparatus. A somewhat larger share of space in the book has been given to the wireless than to the other two sections, as it, no doubt, attracts more general interest at the present time, but it is believed that no important feature of the other two sections has been neglected. The writer is indebted to the following books for borrowed illustrations, viz., Herbert's Telegraphy, 3rd edition, Pendry's Elementary Telegraphy," 2nd edition, Merchant's Wireless Telegraphy, 2nd edition, and to Mr. T. Sherratt, A.M.I. E.E., for kindly correcting the proofs. J. POOLE & Co. 104 Charing Cross Rd., W.C.2 ESTABLISHED 1854 ALWAYS A LARGE STOCK OF EDUCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL BOOKS All enquiries answered.

Frictional Electricity. The first recorded fact in connection with it was that if the substance amber was rubbed by the hand or a cloth, it would attract very light bodies to its surface and in the dark give off sparks. These facts were known in the very early ages, and it was not until the beginning of the seventeenth century that Dr. William Gilbert 'found that many " " other substances also became electrified when rubbed. He also found that there were two kinds of " " electricity which were always produced together, one kind on the rubbed and the other kind on the rubber, and that bodies electrified with the same kind repelled " " each other and bodies electrified or charged with different or opposite kinds . attracted each other. Conductors and Insulators. Some of the substances thus electrified were found to lose their charges very rapidly when touched and others retained their charges after the former were called conductors being touched ; and the latter insulators, but there is infinite variety TELEGRAPHY, TELEPHONY AND WIRELESS in the various substances in regard to these properties of conductivity and insulation. In order to retain a charge of electricity on a good conducting body, such as a metal, it is necessary to support it by means of a good non-conducting or insulating body, such as indiarubber or such like but glass, porcelain, silk, ; unless the air surrounding the conductor is also dry even the insulators will not succeed in retaining the charge. The insulators are, therefore, said to have a high or great resistivity to the passage of electricity and the conductors offer small resistance to the escape or passage of the electricity. Potential. Bodies may be feebly or powerfully charged with electricity and the intensity of such " charge is called its potential," which is measured by units called volts. Potential is analogous to head of water in connection with a turbine, or pressure of steam in a steam engine boiler and is a gauge of the intensity of the effects it can produce. Electrical Current. When two points in a conducting body become charged with electricity at different potentials a current of electricity is caused to pass through the conductor. This current may be only momentary if there is nothing to maintain the difference between the potentials of the two points, or it will be a " " continuous one if such points can be maintained at " " " a difference of potential or P.D," by some source " a of electro-motive-force, such as a battery or " dynamo machine." These will be described later.

Professor of Electrical Engineering I I UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF SWANSEA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF SWANSEA 1002421923 THE GENESIS OF 111Ill II Ill ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING GENESIS OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING THEmedieval university conceived of its role as being 'to prepare men for lives of service in the great pro­ fessions, the Church, the Law and Medicine. Modern institutions of higher learning take a broader view of their purpose than to identify it simply with professional training, but even so the traditional task is not overlooked. Preparation for - the professions is still an important part of our concern, and to the original triad new professions have been added, amongst which is engineering. The entry of engineering to the university world was recent and not unopposed. Indeed, in continental Europe it is even now not wholly conceded, but so far as the Celtic and Anglo -Saxon communities are concerned, this privilege has been won. Hephaestos may approach Athene's temple despite his limp. It must not be thought, however, that because engineering is a newcomer to the university it is necessarily a young profession. Indeed the first pro ­ fessional man of whom there is a written record was one of the architect-engineers who designed a pyramid for a Pharaoh. Even so, engineering is not itself homogeneous and that part of it which is my personal concern, electrical engineer ­ ing, is of course a newcomer .

    Prof. Charles WHEATSTONE and HIS TELEGRAPHS PART I HISTORY

    1 Prof. Charles WHEATSTONE AND HIS TELEGRAPHS ©Fons Vanden Berghen PREFACE. In the past I have written articles about the companies of Louis BREGUET and Werner SIEMENS, their activities in the field of telegraphy and their instruments. So it is high time that I now devote one to Charles WHEATSTONE…. Let it be clear from the beginning: I did not do any research about the life and work of Prof. Ch. Wheatstone. First, I am not in the position to do that, and second, some talented people have already done this thoroughly and with success. That has resulted in splendid books and there are several of them in my library. See the bibliography at the end of this article. SUMMARY [2]. Wheatstone began his life-long involvement with electrical engineering in the days when it was still at the stage of “philosophical toys”. Yet, after having done tests in order to measure the speed of electricity in cables, he had a vision of telecommunications that could deliver printed messages around the world. Working with William F. Cooke he developed the first practical electric telegraph; he also made contributions in the fields of optics and acoustics as well as electrical engineering. He had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the scientific literature in several languages, and made connections which benefited not only his own work but also that of others. His research aided the development of the new King’s College in London into a centre of scientific excellence. Amongst his many inventions were the concertina and the stereoscope, both very popular in the nineteenth century.

Regular article Accepted: 27 September 2019. ABSTRACT Information is very important. Information is also very complicated, making that people have no common understanding and conclusion for the nature of it up today. There are too many papers and some books to describe information; however it is rather difficult to find the description and analysing for the whole history of information from the advent of human beings to the present day. Two parts of information in prehistoric period and the time interred divinization are described. Every part is separated according to several succeeded stages for description. It is near impossible to describe in detail such entire historical facts of information in human society in a paper, so the description and discussion is focused on their comprehensiveness and integrity. By knowing and analysing all these solid historical facts of information, some relative issues e.g. “did information age really exist in the development of material civilization in human society” can be recognized easily.

    The Invention of the Electromotive Engine B. J. G. van der Kooij This case study is part of the research work being completed in preparation for a doctorate-dissertation to be submitted to the University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands (www.tudelft.nl). It is part of a series of case studies about “Innovation” under the title “The Invention Series.” About the text—This is a scholarly case study describing the historic developments that resulted in electromotive engines. It is based on a large number of historic and contemporary sources. As we did not conduct any research into primary sources, we made use of the efforts of numerous others by citing them quite extensively to preserve the original character of their contributions. Where possible we identified the individual authors of the citations. When an author is not identifiable, we identified the source of the text. Facts that are considered to be of a general character in the public domain are not cited. About the pictures—Many of the pictures used in this study were found on websites accessed through the Internet. Where possible they were traced to their origins, and the source is indicated. As most photos are past the age where copyright would apply, we feel that we make fair use of the pictures to illustrate the scholarly case, and this use is not an infringement of copyright.
