	William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomson's results were disputed at a meeting of the British Association in 1856 by Wildman Whitehouse, the electrician of the Atlantic Telegraph Company.
		Whitehouse had possibly misinterpreted the results of his own experiments but was doubtless feeling financial pressure as plans for the cable were already well underway.
		Whitehouse continued to maintain that it was his equipment that was providing the service and started to engage in desperate measures to remedy some of the problems.

		Whitehouse, who was actually a medical doctor and “probably trailed [Kelvin] by a good 50 or 100 IQ points,” pooh-poohed a device that Kelvin proposed, claiming that practical experience refuted his theoretical findings.
		But the directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company accepted Whitehouse’s view, the cable was laid, and Morse code started going back and forth between the Old World and the New.
		Whitehouse strenuously denied this, but his credibility had already taken a beating and the Atlantic Telegraph Company fired him.

		His experiments led him to conclude that messages should be sent over the cable using high voltages generated by huge induction coils and that the conducting wire should have a small rather than a large diameter.
		Whitehouse claimed that, "no adequate advantage would be gained by any considerable increase in the size of the wire."
		To make matters worse, Field had promised that the Atlantic telegraph would start operating by the end of 1857, and he was in such a desperate hurry that the manufacture of the cable was rushed.

	Lord Cable (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Thomson stood by his theory, and Whitehouse eventually conceded its validity “as theory,”while Thomson agreed that with proper handling, it might be possible to reduce the effects of retardation enough to make an Atlantic cable a paying proposition.
		Unfortunately, the cable had been hurriedly made and roughly handled; moreover, when the Irish end was handed over to Whitehouse, he set aside Thomson’s mirror galvanometer and subjected the cable to jolts of current from his own equipment — including an induction coil five feet long — that further damaged its already fragile insulation.
		The first Atlantic cable was a spectacular failure whose collapse tainted the reputation of ocean telegraphy as a whole.While Whitehouse was saddled with much of the blame, Thomson drew almost universal praise, with the implication that if his scientific advice had been followed more closely, the cable might have succeeded.

		Although this cable lasted only weeks before going dead, Field led the laying of a second cable eight years later and improved the signals sent by means of Lord Kelvin's mirror galvanometer.
		This device, pictured, strengthened a weak signal at the landing point in Nova Scotia; it also proved the final undoing of Kelvin critic Sir Edward Orange Wildman Whitehouse, whose idea of maintaining a usable signal at the end was to pump up the voltage at the start.
		Whitehouse blew out an expensive cable and his career in telegraphy.

		The Warriors jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first, as Wildman had an RBI single, senior Jared Holowaty (Columbia, Conn.) drove in a run with a sacrifice fly, and freshman Tom Koch (Warwick, R.I.) had an rbi single.
		After Suffolk scored its lone run in the top of the fifth inning, the Warriors increased their lead to 6-1 in the last of the sixth as senior John Kubachka (Seymour, Conn.) scored on a sacrifice fly.
		Wheaton evened matters with a pair of tallies in the sixth on a pair of RBI singles by Whalen and freshman Keith Cooper (Swampscott, Mass.), and the score remained tied until the bottom of the 10th when Eastern Connecticut loaded the bases with one out.

		The electrical condition of the cable was then excellent, but unfortunately the electrician in charge, Wildman Whitehouse, conceived the wrong idea that it should be worked by currents of high potential.
		For nearly a week futile attempts were made to send messages by his methods, and then a return was made to the weak currents and the mirror galvanometers of Sir William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) which had been employed for testing purposes while the cable was being laid.
		In this way communication was established from both sides on the 1 6th of August, but it did not continue long, for the insulation had been ruined by Whitehouses treatment, and after the 20th of October no signals could be got through.

		The first telegram to pass between two continents was a letter of congratulation from Queen Victoria of England to the President of the United States James Buchanan on August 16.
		The cable was destroyed the following month when Wildman Whitehouse applied excessive voltage to the cable while trying to achieve faster telegraph operation.
		The short period of use undermined public and investor confidence in the project, and delayed efforts to restore a connection.

		He got this position by claiming that it was possible to send a signal across the transatlantic cable, while most research suggested a signal transmission over this length of cable was impractical or even impossible.
		Whitehouse advised that a thin wire be used for the transatlantic telegraph cable, that the signal power be greatly increased, and that signals be measured with a magneto-electrometer.
		Thompson discovered the "Law of Squares": the longer a cable was, the more its signals slow down, collide, are altered, and become meaningless by the time they reach a receiver.
