The recent film "Lincoln" [President Lincoln during the US Civil War] 
had a couple of scenes in the "telegraph room."  The ham group that 
found and supplied the telegraph equipment posted to some list I'm on 
the story about making it all period-authentic.  Really interesting. 
Wireless hadn't been invented.
