Telegraph messages traveled as a series of electrical pulses through a wire from a transmitter to a receiver. Short pulses made a dot, slightly longer pulses a dash. The pulses faded in strength as they traveled through the wire, limiting the distance a message could travel. Repeaters remedied that problem by detecting a weak signal and using a local power source to re-energize and re-transmit the signal down the line."}, {"label": "Description", "content": "This model was submitted to the U.S. Patent Office by inventor Jesse Bunnell of New York City along with his patent application. On 26 January 1868, he received patent #73774 for his \"Improvement in Telegraph-Repeaters.\" In their 1877 review of telegraph equipment, Charles Davis and Frank Rae reported that in Bunnell's repeater, \u00e2\u0080\u009cthe arrangement of the main circuits ... is exactly like that of an ordinary button repeater.\u00e2\u0080\u009d However, instead of a person operating the lever to engage the repeater, the switching was made automatic thru the use of \u00e2\u0080\u009ctwo governor magnets.\u00e2\u0080\u009d The governor magnets were wound with a much finer wire than that used in the sounders so the resistance, and hence the magnetic field, differed between the two and enabled the automatic switching to operate."}, {"label": "Location", "content": "Currently not on view"}], "name": [{"label": "maker", "content": "J.
