Here are a couple of photos of the 1st telegraph lines in Australia to connect the continent to the world.

I see Fusilier is selling your set as North-West Frontier.

Here is a site on the telegraph wire used during the American Civil War

Includes pdfs of period manuals

Photo subtitled: "Title Cutting telegraph wire and connecting the ends, so that the point at which the connection is broken cannot be seen from the ground."
More than likely a "posed" photo. Man appears to be a line-repairmen. Note the different design of insulators. Also note the top line is not perpendicular to the bottom three. The line appears to cross at an angle to the other lines.

Setting up ACW telegraph

I think the companies should make more telegraph sets since it became a key element in warfare in the 19th c

Randy,
PERFECT for research! And you are dead on about the need to do more! This is great material to use and become familiar with a technology that helped grow and settle America. I'll bet most people don't know that there were wireless telegraphs in the 80-90s!
I'm going to stay on this and see what other technologies were tried and failed!
Thanks
BTW- Fusilier set for NW Frontier-Works OK to me in Zululand, except all the figures are built like bodybuilders.
Mike
