Dr. W.O' Shaugh Brooke, who was later knighted, had an assistant
when he was attached to Medical College as Professor of Chemistry.
His name was Seeb Chunder Nandy. Seeb Chunder set up an ingenious
communication system between two departments of the college,
part of which was across a pond. His chief got to know about
the system, and himself began to collaborate to improvise
the venture.

They were the first to think of insulation of wires so that
these could be taken through stretches of water, if needed,
without hampering its use. Shaughnessy Brooke paid for and
set up the first Telegraphic Communication in the world, some
weeks before the one set up in Baltimore. The major portion
of the work of these two originators of the telegraph was
carried out in Medical College, and published in 1839. |
