A semaphore apparatus invented by R. L. Edgeworth (1744–1817), English educational writer and engineer.The device consisted of a small number of posts (typically four) placed side by side, each carrying a large black pointer, readily visible from a distance, which could be turned to different angular positions to represent different digits. Different combinations of digits denoted different words according to a prearranged code.

Papers (C. 7424) XLVI. 1 Your plan for establishing a communication of intelligence between Cork and Dublin and between Dublin and Belfast..by means of a tellograph of your invention.

1797 R. L. Edgeworth in Trans. Royal Irish Acad. 6 Science 126 I shall, with a slight alteration, adopt it [sc. the name telegraph] for the apparatus which I am going to describe. Telegraph is a proper name for a machine which describes at a distance. Telelograph, or contractedly Tellograph, is a proper name for a machine that describes words at a distance.

1867 New Amer. Cycl. XV. 334/1 Mr. R. Lovell Edgeworth at about the same time brought before the public his plan of a telegraph, or as he called it telelograph or tellograph.

1923 R. T. Gunther Early Sci. Oxf. I. 304 The tellograph was the invention of a member of Brasenose College, who had some reason for wanting to learn the result of a race at Newmarket in 1794.

1986 Irish Jrnl.Education 20 31 Edgeworth's favourite scheme, however, was the ‘Tellograph’.

2004 R. Burns Communications ii. 35 Unknown, presumably, to Lord Marsh, Edgeworth in 1767 had invented his tellograph.
