The document discusses several key inventions from the 18th and 19th centuries, including early attempts at electric telegraph communication in the 1770s, Samuel Morse successfully sending the first telegram in 1837, the steam engine originally being used to pump water before being adapted by James Watt to drive machinery, and the opening of the first rail line in 1825 which led to a railway boom across America and Britain with lines crossing mountains, tunnels, and rivers.

1. There were many attemps from
the 1770s onwards
The only means of rapid
communications before the

In 1837 Samuel Mose succed in
sending a short telegram
ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH
STEAM ENGINE
At first the engine was

RAIL WAY
Within 30 years there were rail
way lines all over America and
Britain.
People soon saw the posibility
of using it to drive
James Watt was able to
patend a proper steam
engine.
These lines went over montains
throw tunels and over great
rivers.
In 1825 the first rail wat
line was opened
