Laying of the Atlantic Telegraph Cable: receiving messages from the Great Eastern in the instrument-room of the Telegraph House at Foilhommerum, Valencia, 1865. Engraving from a sketch by Robert Dudley showing ...the reception of the telegrams, and the interior of the instrument-room at the station, which will, in fact, remain in a similar state until the whole ocean cable is successfully laid, when the line will be handed over by the Construction and Maintenance Company to the Atlantic Telegraph Company, and the instruments (Professor Thomsons) now used, and which are correctly shown in our present Engraving, will be taken away and a different description of instrument made use of for the general purposes of transmission of messages. It was nearly twelve oclock at night when a message was received by Mr. Glass that the Caroline had laid the whole of the shore-end cable with perfect success, and that its electric continuity was quite perfect. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
