Description

B. T. Brown has been a telegraph operator with the Santa Fe Railroad for twenty-four years. He has an interesting hobby, collecting telegraph keys. In anticipation of Edison Week, Mr. Brown created a display at his office. The display's significance it that Edison - though didn't invent the telegraph - invented most of the principals used for Mr. Morse's invention. Mr. Brown is shown posing with a Box Relay. He is dressed in a striped three-piece suit.
