X-WR-CALDESC:18 January 1859: Alfred Vail\, co-inventor of the telegraph\, 
 died.\n\nExcerpt from Wikipedia:  Vail was an American machinist and inven
 tor. He was central\, with Samuel F. B. Morse\, in developing and commerci
 alizing the telegraph between 1837 and 1844. Vail and Morse were the first
  two telegraph operators on Morse's first experimental line between Washin
 gton\, DC\, and Baltimore\, and Vail took charge of building and managing 
 several early telegraph lines between 1845 and 1848. He was also responsib
 le for several technical innovations of Morse's system\, particularly the 
 sending key and improved recording registers and relay magnets. Vail left 
 the telegraph industry in 1848 because he believed that the managers of Mo
 rse's lines did not fully value his contributions. He spent his last ten y
 ears conducting genealogical research. Vail's cousin was Theodore N. Vail\
 , who became the first president of American Telephone & Telegraph.
