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.Another Example; of Authentic Ships Telegraphs for sale:
