To begin with, the telegraph works magnificently. "The Relay, Fig. 4088" is part of the telegraph Edison made. The Relay, Fig. 4088 contains a fragile-pivoted lever, L. The lever has limited motion. This is because 2 screws, B (which is on the right is being tipped by platinum). The lever opposite to it also is being tipped. Instead of hand operating the Relay, it is operated by electro-magnetism. The Relay, Fig. 4088 is simply a "signaling key." Train of gearing is included in Edison's telegraph." The Register or Recorder, Fig. 4087" acquiring its power from a weight. It slowly carriers forward between two cylinders. The transmitter transmits signals

by connecting and disconnecting at a given point on the line.The signals are being read by the sound which makes upper and lower limiting stops. Thus making a wonderful telegraph.
In addition, the thought behind Thomas Edison’s telegraph is beneficial to inventors everywhere. He worked on the telegraph because he had a disadvantage with hearing and tried to work around it. Thomas Edison had 1,093 patients. With no method of recording sounds and sending conversations to other people around the world. Thomas Edison made it possible for other inventors around the world.

One thing that catches people's eyes is the telegraph. When he was younger Thomas Edison was a telegraph operator. Edison improved the telegraph for people who have disadvantages with hearing. Thomas Edison had a problem with hearing himself. The telegraph had many important parts to make it functional. Thomas Edison had a reason to improve the telegraph. The telegraph affected the world for the better. Without the improvements on the telegraph, could today's society live?
