    The CHADBURN TELEGRAPH SOCIETY   was established  in 1998  -   100 years  after the 
    Company  had become a Public Limited  Company (PLC)  on the stock exhange in London.  The  great innovator , William Chadburn  assisted  by his father, Charles and  a skilled   team of engineers,  soon created  market domination .  When the  first patents expired  in 1890s,   the  'code'   used in attractive graphics  style on the dials,  had become  the accepted standard  for other competitors .   In order to distinguish  a 'chadburn'  - as an often  used  generic term  -  from  the  other famous  means of  'passing the word' ,  i.e.  morse code and marconi  wireless  telegraphy,   a contemporary  shift  was deemed essential and  the  business then traded with  ' (Ship) '  added.    Another feature, they were not   only  the  original   Patentees , but also became  Manufacturers  on a massive scale.  Since  prototypes had been tested during the 1860s on early Steam ships around  Liverpool, the telegraphs soon reached an advertised 3000 installatons !  The foundation  for  safe and  effective SHIP's MANUVERING  was thus achieved.
