Mr. Charles T. Bright, Chief Engineer of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, 1858. Creator: Unknown

Mr. Charles T. Bright, Chief Engineer of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, 1858. This gentleman, the chief engineer of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, and under whose superintendence the extraordinary feat of laying the Atlantic cable between Ireland and Newfoundland has just been accomplished, has long been one of the foremost of the small band of scientific men to whom we are indebted for the grand system of telegraphic communication which now ramifies throughout the civilised world. Mr. Bright has been connected with the telegraphs of this country for a long time, and, as engineer of the Magnetic Telegraph, carried out the extensive lines of that company. He was one of the original projectors of the Atlantic line, and mainly contributed, by his experimental researches, and the influence which his reputation commanded, to the formation of the Atlantic Telegraph Company in 1856'.
