The Evolution of Telecommunications Part 2

The communications revolution began with the invention of the Morse Telegraph, closely followed by the Bell Telephone. In part 2 of this 3 part series we examine the anatomy of the telephone itself, manual and automatic exchanges, and the networks that carried analogue communications right across Australia.

Come with us as Wal VK2ACE tours the fascinating technology timeline from then to now, making frequent stops along the way to examine the major milestones.
