I’m applauding anything that speeds up the game. We can all lose the will to live waiting for re-starts. Shot clock for pens & cons ☑️ 30 seconds to set a scrum ☑️ Crack on with line-outs ☑️ Wash away water carriers ☑️ TMOs to pipe down ☑️ All to be introduced on January 1st.
Rose concludes by highlighting what we can gain by studying the #telegraph from below: 1) Restoring agency to labor force 2) How race shaped labor divisions in imperial eng. projects 3) Challenging narratives of colonial progress (imp. of "low/slow" tech & processes) #SHOT2022
This photo shows the crew of the CS (cable ship) Patrick Stewart—named for 1st director general of the Indian Telegraph Service (not @SirPatStew)—which fixed Indian Ocean & Persian Gulf cables. Rose notes the prominence presence of South Asian laborers on this vessel. #SHOT2022
Rose provides a historical overview of the Indo-European Telegraph Department, noting how people of different ethnicities were assigned to specific types of work. (e.g., Armenians & Anglo-Indians selected for signaling.) (Map source: atlantic-cable.com/CableCos/Indo-…) #SHOT2022
Hello again, @SocHistTech friends! We've got a busy day of #histSTM/#histtech panels lined up here at #SHOT2022. I'm starting off w/a panel on Engineering & Empire sponsored by the Prometheans SIG & organized by 2020-21 LHL fellow @ellanfei!
Our next speaker, @sebrose91, is looking at the labor hierarchies associated w/the construction, maintenance, and operation of imperial telegraph networks (esp. the Indo-European Telegraph). #SHOT2022
