The Telegraph

The first club meeting went on "overtime" for the patiently waiting moms. In this picture we are hastily hooking up one of the boy's sender to the telegraph wire and ground. We sent the electric current through the telegraph wire and the earth to a distant pole where it energized a buzzer whenever the key on the sender "button" was pressed.

Next week we will re-visit the experience and talk about it some more.

Some of the things I had hoped to help the boys will be moved to next week, which will work out perfectly.
