My computer retailer insisted that I purchase a gold terminal printer cable to avoid line loss in the 3 foot circuit. Yet you describe pushing telegraph carrier over IRON conductors for an extraordinary distance. Amazing!
Do you recall the dynamo in Chama? Was it electrically powered off of a public utility, or did it run off of house steam like a locomotive generator?
