IV. On practical methods for rapid signalling by the electric telegraph
I am at present engaged in working out various practical applications of the formulæ communicated some time ago in a short article on the “Theory of the Electric Telegraph” (Proceedings, May 17, 1855), and I hope to be able very soon to lay the results in full before the Royal Society. In the mean t...

I am at present engaged in working out various practical applications of the formulæ communicated some time ago in a short article on the “Theory of the Electric Telegraph” (Proceedings, May 17, 1855), and I hope to be able very soon to lay the results in full before the Royal Society.
