Austrian railway telegraph by Alexander Bain
Abstract
The article presents the history and development of telegraphs invented by the Scottish inventor and engineer Alexander Bain. The telegraph and its subsequent versions were known as I–V telegraphs. They were created before the invention of the Morse telegraph and were soon replaced by it, as they were considerably slower in transmitting the messages. One of the variants of I–V telegraphs was used in Austrian railways between the years 1846 and 1850. On the Northern Railway (Kaiser-Ferdinands-Nordbahn), including on the route from Vienna to Bohumín, Bain telegraphs remained in use until 1886.
