Carl Friedrich Gauss and Wilhelm Weber was the first to use electric telegraph for communications equipment remains in 1833 in Göttingen. The first commercial telegraph was made by William Fothergill Cooke and marketed on the Great Western Railway in England. Telegraph was patented in England in 1837. The telegram was sent at a distance of 13 mil/21 km from Paddington station to West Drayton and started operating on April 9, 1839.
