Telegrams
Is anyone able to tell me when UK telegrams changed from hand sent morse code to teletype machines ? It is needed for a lecture I am scheduled to give.

Re: Telegrams
Hi Brychan,
I have always understood that the change came about in 1927, and just checking Teleprinter on Wiki seems to confirm this. I cant imagine that the change was overnight though. Kind regards Dave G0ELJ |

Re: Telegrams
The attachment seems to support Dave's opinion. Ken.

Re: Telegrams
Back in the late 1960's I remember finding some old pre war TG series diagrams with a switch marked Teleprinter/Morse.
