| 释义 |
The Hooper's Telegraph Works Ltd was established by William Hooper in 1870 to manufacture and lay submarine communications cable. The company's first order was for a 2,300 nautical mile cable linking Vladivostok with Hong Kong, via Shanghai.[1] The company also dropped cable for the Western and Brazilian Telegraph Company.[2] The company commissioned the C. S. Hooper, then the world's second largest cable laying vessel. Due to the haste with which the ship was required, it was assembled in just 100 days. The ship was also used to freight trade between the United States and Great Britain on the Boston-London shipping route.[3] The company was placed into liquidation in 1877, and by 1894 was trading as Hooper's Telegraph and India Rubber Works Ltd.[4] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://atlantic-cable.com/CableCos/BritishMfrs/index.htm |title=History of the Atlantic Cable & Submarine Telegraphy - British Cable Manufacturers |accessdate=2007-05-15 |last=Glover |first=Bill |date=16 March 2007}} {{coord missing|London}}2. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:1doBbX-LL7EJ:www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_rlg4413/is_SLGG0003/ai_n15607214+Hooper's+Telegraph+Works+Ltd&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=6&gl=uk&client=firefox-a| title=Presentation box for samples of telegraph cable from the Brazil cable of 1874|accessdate=2007-05-15 | publisher= Trove Reference & Education}} (google cache version as retrieved on 30 May 2006) 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.geocities.com/jckinghorn/ATL/content/earlydays.htm|title=Atlantic Transport Line|author=Jonathan Kinghorn|year=2006|accessdate=2007-05-15|archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/query?url=http://www.geocities.com/jckinghorn/ATL/content/earlydays.htm&date=2009-10-26+00:43:20|archivedate=2009-10-26|deadurl=yes|df=}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://atlantic-cable.com/CableCos/BritishMfrs/index.htm |title=History of the Atlantic Cable & Submarine Telegraphy - British Cable Manufacturers |accessdate=2007-05-15 |last=Glover |first=Bill |date=16 March 2007}} 6 : Manufacturing companies established in 1870|Manufacturing companies disestablished in 1877|Cable manufacture in London|Companies based in the London Borough of Merton|Defunct manufacturing companies of the United Kingdom|Submarine communications cables |
