  • Abstract
    This paper mentions some of the early methods of providing electrical energy to operate telegraph circuits and contrasts these with a description of the telegraph power plant in the Western Union Telegraph Company´s new building in New York City. It also describes the present general methods of distributing power to telegraph circuits and the equipment recently designed for maintaining continuity of power including engine generator sets for standby service.
