How did you send a telegram
Technology You Didn't Know Still Existed: The Telegram

Today, where disposable instant messaging, emails, texts and tweets are all around us, it is a pleasant surprise to find out that the grandfather of quick communication is still with us.
Yes, it is still possible to send a personal, hand-delivered telegram.
A telegram sent to Atlas Obscura’s Editor-In-Chief from Luke Spencer on 22 May, 2015
On January 27th, 2006, the world’s most famous telegram agency Western Union announced that it “will discontinue all Telegram and Commercial Messaging services..” For over 150 years the world’s greatest joys, deepest condolences and proudest successes had been hand delivered within their iconic yellow envelopes, written in its own distinctive brief prose.
At one point in the 1920s, Western Union and its army of uniformed messengers were sending more than 200 million telegrams every year. But the advent of faxes, then emails and finally SMS messaging saw the numbers dwindle, bringing to an end the golden age of the telegram.
But a handful of companies are carrying on the tradition. Principal amongst them is the International Telegram Company who inherited and still operate Western Union’s former telex and cablegram network. They are well aware of their own anachronism: “Most people are pretty surprised to learn that telegrams still exist, and in fact are still pretty widely used in some parts of the world,” says Colin Stone, Director of Operations. Overall, he says that about 20 million telegrams are still delivered every year.
And this isn’t just a gimmick; text messages and e-mails might work for saying hi but when it comes to urgent hand-delivered messages, the telegram is still the gold standard. “People use them for canceling contracts and sending legal notifications because a copy of the message is retained in our files for 7 years and can be legally verified,” explains Stone.
Everything from legal notices to social correspondence for births, funerals and weddings are being routinely sent by telegrams. In the U.S., Stone says that people still send telegrams for a simple reason, echoing the famous quote about why humans climb Mount Everest—“because they can.”

Prior to the invention of the telegraph, long distance communication was as slow as the horse which carried it; the Pony Express could deliver a message across America in roughly 10 days. This was obviously not ideal. In 1825, an aspiring painter was in Washington, D.C. working on a commissioned portrait of the famed French general Marquis de Lafayette when he got an urgent message from his father saying, “Your dear wife is convalescent.” Leaving the painting of Lafayette unfinished, the painter rushed home to New Haven, Connecticut, to find that his beloved wife was not only dead but had already been buried.
He devoted himself to creating a faster method of long-distance communication, and would lend his name to an invention that deliver messages almost instantly; his name was Samuel Morse.
Morse learnt that over in England, inventors William Fothergill Cooke and Charles Wheatstone had installed the world’s first commercial telegraphy system on the Great Western Railway in 1838. Their patented system involved a series of needles that pointed to letters of the alphabet on a board, spelling out a message. Samuel Morse developed a single wire electrical telegraph that proved more simple and popular. Along with his assistant Alfred Vail, they created the Morse code signaling alphabet, and patented his electric telegraph to deliver it. In May 1844, Morse sent the ominous sounding message from the floor of the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington to Baltimore, “WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT.”

Almost overnight telegraphs transformed the way the world communicated. In 1846 there was only Morse’s experimental line between Baltimore and Washington, but by 1850 there were 12,000 miles of cable and over 20 companies in the United States alone. Tom Standage, in his 1998 book The Victorian Internet, described how “it revolutionized business practice, gave rise to new forms of crime....romances blossomed over the wires and secret codes were devised by some users and cracked by others.”
The method of sending a telegram was simple. By visiting the office of a telegraph company, or later, by over the telephone, you would compose a message as briefly as possible, for telegrams charged by the word. The message was then conveyed by the electric wire in Morse code to its destined office where it would be written or typed, stuck to a form and hand delivered, usually by a boy on a bicycle. If you were living in Pittsburgh in the 1850s it was entirely possible your telegram would have been delivered by a young Andrew Carnegie.
Or over in Port Huron, Michigan, a boy of the name Thomas Edison.

So prevalent was the number of aspiring cable companies, that Standage notes in the 1852 US Census, “the telegraph industry even merited 12 pages to itself.” One such company was the New York and Mississippi Valley Printing Telegraph Company. Gradually buying up its competitors, it would come to virtually monopolize the entire telegram industry under its new name, Western Union.
Known today principally as a money wiring service, Western Union was once the premier American telegraph operator. In 1861 it completed the first transcontinental telegraph line in the U.S., instantly rendering the Pony Express obsolete. Such was its success that in 1884, it was one of the original 11 stocks on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. (The shareholders were no doubt delighted to read of their profits on the stock exchange ticker, especially as it was Western Union which had invented it.
) By 1930, Western Union had moved into an opulent example of art deco architecture on 60 Hudson Street, New York. With the tagline “Telegraph Capital of the World,” it came complete with over 70 million feet of cable, its own gymnasium and an auditorium for the instructing of messengers.

In 1854 in a house overlooking Gramercy Park, the industrialist, philanthropist and inventor of such varied creations as the first U.S. steam locomotive and Jell-O, Peter Cooper, met a prominent New York financier named Cyrus West Field. Together with a team of three other backers, including Samuel Morse, they created a 400-mile underwater telegraph line connecting Newfoundland with Nova Scotia. Three years later, West started laying the first telegraph wire along the Atlantic ocean floor.

Just 14 years after Morse’s first telegram, Queen Victoria sent a message of congratulations to President James Buchanan.
The first transatlantic telegram was met with such hysteria in New York that impromptu parades and fireworks accidentally set fire to City Hall.

It’s hard to imagine now, but the birth of the telegram transformed language as much as business. Just as instant messaging today has developed its own abbreviated lexicon of terms such as IRL, IMHO, and ICYMI, so to did telegraphy. Due to telegrams being priced by the word, brevity was the order of the day. Companies soon did a thriving business in publishing code word directories.
In one thrifty telegram comprising of the word COQUARUM the poor recipient would be reliably informed that the ‘engagement broken off.’ In business you might well ask someone to LOZENGE (“what shall we do with documents and bills of lading attached”) to which the stern reply GIGGLE would instruct, “Use your discretion as to delivery of documents.

Soon a Hemingway-esque prose developed, with brief, terse sounding messages omitting expensive pronouns and adjectives. Guide books such as Nelson E. Ross’ 1928 How to Write Telegrams Properly had whole chapters devoted to “Extra Words and Their Avoidance”, and “How Unnecessary Words Creep In”.
Under the ethos that “Brevity is the soul of Telegraphy”, social formalities in letter writing such as “Dear Madame” and “Yours very truly” were quickly done away with. Shortness and pithiness were the order of the day. During the filming of The Big Sleep, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, the labyrinthine plot was so confusing that director Howard Hawks cabled author Raymond Chandler asking who killed the chauffeur. Chandler sent a simple telegram back— “NO IDEA”.
The shortest telegram exchange sent is attributed to Oscar Wilde.
Living in Paris, he is supposed to have cabled his publisher in London to see how how his new book was doing. The telegram simply read “?” to which the reply cabled back was “!” (Although the story might be apocryphal; the same telegram has been attributed to Victor Hugo.)
While the majority of telegrams were used for everyday conversation and business, some are particularly poignant. Such as this desperate message telegraphed on the night of April 14th, 1912:
SOS SOS CQD CQD TITANIC. WE ARE SINKING FAST. PASSENGERS ARE BEING PUT INTO BOATS. TITANIC.
During wartime, the most dreaded telegram of all was hand delivered on behalf of either the War Department or the Navy Department. The message began “The Secretary of War (for soldiers and airmen) or Secretary of Navy (for sailors and marines), regrets to inform you that [name, rank and serial number of the man in the military service] was killed in action (or missing in action).”
Other telegrams changed world history.
One of the most infamous was a telegram consisting of a secret message in groups of coded numbers that Western Union delivered to the German Ambassador to Mexico on January 19th, 1917. Sent by German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmerman it was intercepted by British intelligence and sent to President Woodrow Wilson.

The telegram spelt out that Germany would offer US territories to Mexico in return for joining the German side. The telegram was published in the US press on March 1st, 1917, and a month later, despite Wilson being elected under the banner ‘He Kept Us Out of the War’, the United States declared war on Germany. In his book The Codebreakers, David Kahn rightly states that,”no other single cryptanalysis has had such enormous consequences......never before or since has so much turned upon the solution of a secret message.”
Telegrams may not be as widespread as they once were, but through companies such as the International Telegram Company they remain perhaps the most elegant way to send a message since 1844.

MISCELLANEOUSShort conversation - Weekend - Kommersant
On November 13, 1851, a telegraph service between Moscow and St. Petersburg started working - a cable between the two Russian capitals was laid along with the railway. A few weeks earlier, a telegraph line linked Paris and London. The telegraph has radically changed communication, making it not only faster, but also more concise. Ulyana Volokhova studied how people mastered the art of conciseness and whether they were good at it.

“Wonderful are thy works, O Lord”
This is how the first telegraph message in history looked like. Samuel Morse sent it on May 24, 1844, over the then only telegraph cable in the world from Washington to Baltimore. It was sent using a device developed by Morse and a special coding system in which letters were replaced by combinations of long and short signals. The words "Wonderful are thy works, Lord" - a quote from the "Book of Numbers", which was suggested to Morse by the daughter of his friend, who believed that they best convey the delight before the revolutionary event. nine0005
"?"
Such a telegram in 1862, according to legend, came from Victor Hugo to the publisher Albert Lacroix.
Due to speeches against Napoleon III, the writer was in voluntary exile on the island of Guernsey and could not himself observe the reaction to the publication of the novel Les Misérables. The response telegram from the publisher was also short: “!”
"Grab a bulldog grip, chew and hit as hard as you can"
Abraham Lincoln sent this telegram on August 17, 1864 to General Grant, who was besieging the city of Petersburg. The siege had been going on for almost two months, and the day before, the northerners had suffered an unpleasant defeat in another battle. Nevertheless, Grant cabled Lincoln that he thought it necessary to hold the line, and Lincoln agreed with him. Petersburg was captured only nine months later. With its fall, the American Civil War also ended. nine0005
“I offer my deepest gratitude”
This is how the King of German-occupied Denmark Christian X replied to Hitler on September 26, 1942, when he received a congratulatory telegram from him “I send my sincere congratulations on your birthday.
” Having received the telegram, Hitler was so offended by its brevity that he immediately expelled the Danish ambassador from Berlin and recalled the German ambassador from Copenhagen. The “Telegram Crisis” put an end to the soft occupation of Denmark: SS Werner Best was sent to the country as a manager, who formed a new collaborationist government, liquidated the remnants of the national fleet and launched repressions in the country. nine0005
"It's a boy"
On November 1, 1952, the first ever test of a thermonuclear weapon took place on Eniwetok Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. Edward Teller, who was at the University of Berkeley, picked up the vibrations from the shock wave with a seismograph and sent a message "It's a boy" to the Los Alamos laboratory. This meant that the tests were successful and another weapon of mass destruction appeared in the world. The telegram from Teller, who acted as the inspirer and consultant of the project, arrived at the laboratory two hours earlier than the official confirmation.
Twenty years later, Teller admitted to reporters that if the tests were unsuccessful and the power of the blast wave was weak, he would have sent the telegram "It's a girl." nine0005
“I am still alive”
In December 1969, conceptual artist On Kawara sent three telegrams to the exhibition curator in Paris: “I am not going to commit suicide”, “Don’t worry, I have no suicidal intentions” and “I I'm going to bed, forget about it." These three messages were the beginning of a huge cycle. On Kawara did not appear in public and did not give comments or interviews, but from 1969 until the early 2000s he sent a telegram "I'm still alive" to anyone who was interested in his person. Also, such messages were sometimes spontaneously received by his friends and just acquaintances in different parts of the world. More than 9 are now known00 telegrams of the artist.
Nurse not blown up
In 1935, Evelyn Waugh, who went to Abyssinia as a correspondent for the Daily Mail to cover the Italo-Ethiopian war, was commissioned by the editors to write a story about the life of an American nurse killed in the bombing of the city of Adua.
Her heroic death was reported in the newspapers, and the Daily Mail hoped to be the first to tell about it in detail. After talking with eyewitnesses of the events, Evelyn Waugh found out that both the nurse and her death were a fabrication of the press, so instead of a heartbreaking article, he sent a short telegram to the editor: “The nurse is not blown up.” nine0005
“I watch your game from the last row. It's a pity you're not here.”
Playwright and Broadway director George Kaufman sent such a telegram during the intermission of the musical I'm Singing About You to the leading actor William Haxton. Kaufman hated it when the actors overacted, and Gaxton, the vaudeville star, became more melodramatic with each performance. Haxton understood the meaning of the message correctly and, after the intermission, reduced the pathos.
"Be healthy, schoolboy"
Sergei Dovlatov claimed that in 1974 he congratulated Bulat Okudzhava on his 50th birthday with such a telegram.
In the USSR, he was not honored for political reasons, and Dovlatov decided to support the poet, whom he did not even know. "Be healthy, schoolboy" was the title of Okudzhava's first story, published in 1961. Dovlatov said that a year after sending the telegram, he met Okudzhava and asked him if he appreciated the congratulations. Okudzhava replied that on his birthday he received about a hundred telegrams and 85 of them contained the words "Be healthy, schoolboy." nine0005
“Welcome to the start of a great career. Send text”
On October 7, 1955, publisher and bookstore owner Lawrence Ferlinghetti came across a reading of Allen Ginsberg's poem “Scream”. The furious text about the life of drug addicts, homosexuals and lunatics made Ferlinghetti so enthusiastic that he wanted to publish a poem. He was not familiar with Ginsberg and, in order to appear in a favorable light, sent him a telegram: “Greetings to you at the beginning of a great career. Submit text. In exactly the same words, 100 years earlier, the poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson hailed the literary debut of Walt Whitman, the idol of the beat generation in general and Ginsberg in particular.
Ginsberg did not consider the allusion, but sent the manuscript. nine0005
How to send real telegrams directly from your smartphone
August 24, 2017 Android iOS
Do you remember the era of paper letters that has gone forever? Actually letters, postcards, telegrams - how nice it was to receive news from relatives or friends. The TCHK mobile application is a real find for everyone who is tired of soulless messages in instant messengers.
What is TCHK
This is an application with which you can send a real telegram directly from your smartphone from anywhere in the world. Distance does not matter - the telegram will reach the addressee even from the other side of the world the very next day after departure, and not a month later in a crumpled form. nine0005
appbox fallback https://apps.apple.com/ru/app/1058971610
A logical question: why do we need telegrams when there are instant messengers and SMS? You might as well ask why people hang reproductions of paintings on the walls when they can be viewed on the Web at any time.
A telegram on a postcard is a warm and lamplike sign of attention, which is pleasant even just to hold in your hands. I felt sad - I took out the message, re-read it, pressed it to my heart, and my heart became more cheerful.
Remembered the memorable date the day before and did not have time to come up with a gift? The telegram will help out: the next day it will be with the recipient, even if you are separated by oceans. nine0005
How to send a telegram
Registration in the application is elementary: you just need to enter the phone number to which the confirmation code is sent. Pass authorization using this code - and you can immediately send postcards to everyone.
TCHK syncs with your social media accounts and reminds you when a friend's birthday is. It will be much more pleasant for him to receive a real postcard than a banal rhyme in a personal message. The message will arrive exactly on the date you specified: you remembered your birthday literally the day before - it doesn’t matter, the birthday person will still receive his congratulations.
nine0005
Using a telegram on a stylish postcard, you can congratulate your loved ones and friends on any other holiday by selecting it in the list of events. After that, we proceed to select the addressee from the contact list. Even if you do not know the number of the recipient's house or apartment, it's okay. Indicate his last name, first name, patronymic, city of residence and phone number, and then they will contact him and clarify which address is more convenient to deliver the telegram.
The next step is to choose a postcard. You can choose an option that conveys the spirit of the holiday, or choose something universal. nine0005
Then we determine the text of the telegram. It must be no more than 48 words in length, address and signature are not included here. Write something from yourself or choose one of the available templates.
Proceed to the payment process. There are two ways: funds can be transferred from a bank card or from a mobile phone account. When the money is gone, you can subtly hint to the addressee that the news will be waiting soon.
Making a postcard from your own photo
Vacation photos in social networks are, of course, good, but it's much more interesting to send greetings to loved ones from distant countries using a telegram. The mobile application "TCHK" has a service "FOTCHKa" - now you can create unique postcards from your own photos, and not be limited to the templates presented in the application. If you want - use the pictures stored in the smartphone's memory, if you want - upload photos from Facebook*, Instagram* or VKontakte. nine0005
Many people like to send postcards with places of interest from their trips. "FOTCHKA" is much cooler, because it's your own postcard. It contains all your emotions and impressions, what you wanted to share with friends and family. Plus, it will be delivered to Moscow the very next day, even if you send it from another continent.
Of course, we could not but try this service in practice. We decided not to waste time on trifles and send three postcards at once - to walk like that.
This is how the process of turning a photo into a postcard looks like. At the stage of choosing an image, we stop at the option of creating a postcard from our image. nine0005
The better the picture, the better the finished postcard will look, so blurry and fuzzy photos don't belong here. The minimum image size is 620 × 620 pixels, and for high quality printing, at least 1240 × 1240 pixels. Pictures taken with a smartphone meet these requirements.
The photo can be further processed: make it black and white or turn it into a time-worn picture using a retro filter. We settled on the original version - the brighter, the better. nine0005
The final stage is the choice of an artistic frame in which the image will be enclosed. With a recent update, there are many new frames, so you can experiment as much as you like and choose the perfect one for each photo.
Voila, the result of our work has appeared on the preview - this is how the finished postcard will look like.
Then everything is according to the standard: they added the text, paid, the telegram went to the specified address.
The print quality is at its best, there are no complaints about the delivery time either - the postcards arrived at the recipient the next day after we sent them. The only inconvenience is that you cannot select the exact delivery time, but let's hope that this option will appear in one of the next updates. nine0005
While the service of creating postcards from photographs is available only for users of the mobile application "POT", such "Photos" are delivered to Moscow and some cities of the Moscow region. But the developers promise that soon it will be possible to send postcards with your own photos from the TCHK website, and to all regions of Russia.
There is no soul in another photo in the social network feeds, as well as in the duty SMS with congratulations on your birthday or any other holiday. Send telegrams on postcards using the TCHK mobile application or website.
