The new pointer telegraph allowed letters to be transmitted, whereas the telegraph constructed ten years previously by Samuel Morse only supported Morse code. For the first time therefore it was also possible for untrained persons to operate a telegraph. This development was to revolutionize the world of telecommunications technology. During the turbulent 1840s – the decade was characterized by social unrest and revolutions throughout Europe – the possibility to communicate over long distances with practically no time delay was crucially important for the military and politics. | The "Telegraphen-Bauanstalt von Siemens & Halske" company was founded in Berlin on October 1, 1847.<ref>Siemens-Electrogeräte GmbH (Ed.): Geschichte der Siemens Hausgeräte 1847-2003.

Large-scale orders from abroad ensured further expansion of the business in the 1850s. Siemens & Halske began work on constructing the Russian telegraph network in 1853 and the English network in 1858. Werner Siemens and his brothers who were working abroad for the company won numerous accolades for their accomplishments. The English Queen Victoria knighted Wilhelm Siemens in 1883, while Werner Siemens was elevated to the peerage by the German Emperor Frederick III in 1888 and the Russian Tsar, Nikolaus II, knighted Carl Siemens in 1895.<ref>Siemens AG (Ed): 150 Jahre Siemens, pages 10-11.</ref> | |||
