Automatic Telegraph Company
This company was incorporated in New York on November 28, 1870 to exploit the automatic telegraph patents of George Little. Edison, who was already associated with officials of the company, became its principal inventor and developed his own automatic telegraph system used commercially by company beginning in December 1872. Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph acquired control of Automatic Telegraph in 1875.
