Post Office Telegraphs in Ireland - The Insulators
Manufactured in Ireland.
THE Dublin Evening Mail, of the 16th of November, publishes the following notes on this all-important subject:
"We have already directed attention to the extensions now being made by the Electric Telegraph Company, whose wires have hitherto run through a few of the most important towns in Ireland. There can be no doubt that great benefit will accrue to the public by these extensions. It will, however, be a source of still greater satisfaction to the public to learn that the Magnetic Telegraph Company, whose wires run through the entire country, are now rapidly carrying out a more complete system, and the wires are now being extended under the supervision of the well known and distinguished electrician, B. D. Watlock, assisted by an efficient staff of engineers.
"The following are some of the northern towns (the writer enumerates eighty towns and villages) to which new wires are already being erected, and it is expected they will shortly be in direct communication with the General Post Office, Dublin. The southern and western sections will be commenced immediately.
"One highly gratifying feature, in connection with these extensions of the government telegraphs, is to be found in the great encouragement given to Irish manufacture; the whole of the insulators are being manufactured at the Belleek Potteries."
