The Taming of Distance - New Zealand's First International Telecommunications
Anbieter: Book Express (NZ), Shannon, Neuseeland
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 187 pages. On 19 February 1876, New Zealand became telegraphically linked to the world - it joined the international Victorian internet . Contact with Sydney now took only seconds and London less than 24 hours. But unlike today when everybody is t heir own instant telegraphist , in 1876 the system needed a small army of speci ally trained undersea cable operators. The Taming of Distance tells the story of those people - Englishmen, Australians and New Zealanders - who worked the cabl e, first from an isolated rural, coastal location near Nelson and later from Wel lington central. But it is far from a narrow story of undersea telegraphy. It is set in the wider context of British ownership of the line, and interaction with the New Zealand Government and particularly the New Zealand Telegraph Departmen t. It tells of a rapidly changing world of national and international telecommun ications which, by the time the line closed in 1932, bore little resemblance to that of 1876. Above all, it tells how those men (and later, women) and their fam ilies, lived and worked as part of a unique international community. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 1590a

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. This copy appears to be the authors own copy. It has two laid in letters about the book addressed to the author and a postcard/photo laid in of the "Staff extension coy Wakapuaka August 1917' . A very close to fine copy. On 19 February 1876, New Zealand became telegraphically linked to the world - it joined the international Victorian "internet". Contact with Sydney now took only seconds and London less than 24 hours. But unlike today when everybody is their own instant "telegraphist", in 1876 the system needed a small army of specially trained undersea cable operators. THE TAMING OF DISTANCE tells the story of those people - Englishmen, Australians and New Zealanders - who worked the cable, first from an isolated rural, coastal location near Nelson and later from Wellington central. But it is far from a narrow story of undersea telegraphy. It is set in the wider context of British ownership of the line, and interaction with the New Zealand Government and particularly the New Zealand Telegraph Department. It tells of a rapidly changing world of national and international telecommunications which, by the time the line closed in 1932, bore little resemblance to that of 1876. Above all, it tells how those men (and later, women) and their families, lived and worked as part of a unique international community. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 040786
