Légende

The Atlantic Telegraph Paying-Out Machine, 1858. 'In the Engraving, which is taken from a photograph by Maull and Polyblank, the paying-out machine is shown in perspective nearest to the observer, the dynamometer being seen at the further end of the paying-out machine. The bystanders have been introduced to show the comparative size of the machine dynamometer. The tallest figure standing by the machine is Mr. Bright, the engineer, and one of the original projectors of the Atlantic line; beside him is Mr. Appold, by whom the form of brake used was invented; and in the distance is Mr. Clifford, who was engaged in the former expedition, and in the experiments which led to the construction of the present machinery'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
