Thank you, Mr. Trump. This is all very informative.
Looking at the broader picture, in the days of manual morse, how would WU have relayed a message for longer distances? Say a message from New York to Durango, for example. Would the message be hand repeated from central office to central office -- quite a few times across the country, or was the switching and resending in some way automated? If manual, I can see this taking quite awhile.
