An apparatus, or a process, for communicating intelligence rapidly between distant points, especially by means of preconcerted visible or audible signals representing words or ideas, or by means of words and signs, transmitted by electrical action.
enables a detailed message to be sent instantaneously between two locations.
Equipment used to send information over long distances using electricity transmitted by wire.
an electric device or system for sending messages by a code over wires
apparatus used to communicate at a distance over a wire (usually in Morse code)
send cables, wires, or telegrams

a written message that is sent a long distance by Morse code
Circular levered device for bridge/Engine Room messages.
A system for transmitting messages using an electrical circuit running through a wire. The message is sent by using a code of dots and dashes representing each letter and digit. The telegraph operators opened and closed the circuit to create the pattern of dots (short interruptions of current) and dashes (longer intervals) sent through the wire. At the receiving end an electromagnet operated a sounder and the operator decoded the pattern of dots and dashes as he listened. Different versions of the code were developed in Europe and North America.
on a ship, it is a device with a lever for transmitting and acknowledging remotely the orders for engine movements; fitted in the wheel house where the order is given during manoeuvring, the engineers in the machinery space then acknowledge the order and adjust the main engine speed accordingly; the order may vary in steps from "Dead Slow", "Slow", "Half" and "Full" Ahead or Astern
A device that allows an operator, tapping a key, to transmit messages or data in Morse Code over wire to a distant destination. These wires were originally strung on poles along railway beds allowing fast exchange of information.Telephone Exchange A switching center for connecting and switching phone lines. A European term for what North Americans call a Central Office.
(noun) A. an apparatus for communication at a distance by coded signals; especially : an apparatus, system, or process for communication at a distance by electric transmission over wire
An apparatus, either electrical or mechanical, for transmitting orders, as from a ship's bridge to the engine room, steering gear room, or elsewhere about the ship.
