Tachygraph
A tachygraph (Merch /ˌta.kɪˈgɾaf/, also informally a tachy or tacky /ˈta.kəi/) is a device with a keyboard for typing text onto paper [i.e. a typewriter], or more recently directly onto a slate [computer screen].
Etymology
The word "tachygraph" originates in the mid-nineteenth century as a brand name. It is derived from Ancient Greek τᾰχῠ́ς • (takhús) "quick, fast" and γρᾰ́φω • (gráphō) "draw, write".
History
Early tachygraphs in the 1830s and 40s were extremely cumbersome, with most models only capable of setting type at a fraction of the speed of practised handwriting. The Armanburg Tachygraph (Tachygrafia Armangrod), which was commercially available in Poland from 1842, was so awkward to use that it was lampooned in the bit-sheets [cheap newspapers] as the Bradygrafia (literally the “slow-writer”).
Since very early on, attempts have been made to connect tachygraphs to the steeplemesh [telegraph network], so that one could type a message onto paper and simultaneously transmit a copy of the message to someone else (ideally, automating a tachygraph to type the message out also on the receiving end).
The first tachygraph specifically able to send messages on the steeplemesh was the Vilmanas Teleclavia, designed in Lithow [Lithuania] by Tomas Vilmanas in 1859. Its first message (the first line from Ovid's Heroines, reproduced below) was sent on Michaelmas of that year to his friend Margreta Legaite in Tvaniste.
· A B C D E F G · HAEC TUA PENELOPE LENTO TIBI MITTIT ULISSE · a b c d e f g. This your Penelope sends to you, long-delayed Ulysses.
Historical films have made much of the fact that this message was sent less than a month after the 1859 Auroric Anomaly [the Carrington Event], but there is no evidence Vilmanas considered its effects (though he must have been aware of the stories of messages along unpowered steeplepost wires).
In the late nineteenth century, the Faxim brand of tachygraph was sold across Borland.

Punctuation (formerly sometimes called pointing) is the use of spacing, conventional signs, and certain typographical devices as aids to the understanding and correct reading of written text, whether read silently or aloud. Another description is, "It is the practice action or system of inserting points or other small marks into texts in order to aid interpretation; division of text into sentences, clauses, etc., by means of such marks."
In written English, punctuation is vital to disambiguate the meaning of sentences. For example: "woman, without her man, is nothing" (emphasizing the importance of men to women), and "woman: without her, man is nothing" (emphasizing the importance of women to men) have very different meanings; as do "eats shoots and leaves" (which means the subject consumes plant growths) and "eats, shoots, and leaves" (which means the subject eats first, then fires a weapon, and then leaves the scene). The sharp differences in meaning are produced by the simple differences in punctuation within the example pairs, especially the latter.
The rules of punctuation vary with language, location, register, and time and are constantly evolving. Certain aspects of punctuation are stylistic and are thus the author's (or editor's) choice, or tachygraphic (shorthand) language forms, such as those used in online chat and text messages.

The Good Game period
The Good Game period refers to the final decades of the nineteenth century, especially when construed as a time of rising global powers formed of alliances and meshes of trade and technology binding the world together. It conventionally follows the Global Workshop period of spreading industry and ends with the outbreak of the Millstone War.
The same Laic Declarations of Belgrade in 1850 which prefigured the social and moral shifts of the Household Renovation also set the stage for the political realignment of the Good Game decades, which new alliances between states that could not have countenanced such ties even a generation earlier.
This period sees the establishment of several alliance-federacies that would go on to define the geopolitics of the twentieth century, such as the Drengot Collusion in north-western Europe (whose expansion concluded in 1894 with the accession of Borland).
The perception of the Good Game period as a time of glamorous espionage and political machinations behind closed doors is not entirely deserved—compare the popular perception (via books and film) of the 1887 Desarden affair involving a London ambassador and the king of Nackon Day [~Thailand] with the tawdrier reality. Nevertheless, the period has cemented itself as a popular setting for spycraft and masquira stories.
The kevler romance arose as a distinct subgenre of masquira in this period, featuring elaborate plans and schemes usually aiming to steal some priceless item.
The 1880s saw a brief fad for 'Morrack fashion' in countries across Europe and the Novomund, in areas such as dress, architecture and food. There was, for example, a trend of incorporating exposed stonework draped in tapestry and curtains in contemporary buildings.
Scientific and technological advances of the Good Game period include discovering other galaxies, determining the normal speed [lightspeed], the first household mesh-linked tachygraphs [~personal fax typewriters], and stauron retainers [IUDs].

The Pistol Mesh
The pistol mesh (Borlish sar pistol), also referred to simply as the mesh, is the global system of long-distance communication which employs a single normalised method for transmitting messages from one endpoint augrimmer [computer] to another.
Etymology
The phrase "pistol mesh" (in the Roun French form mail pistre) was first used by writer Ashford Pasquier in his 1968 parachthon [~sci-fi] work Starsail, describing technology that could transmit written messages, sounds and moving images between people in different star systems.
The phrase literally means "network for messages": the word pistol reflects post-Classical Latin pistola "epistle, written decree", aphæretic form of synonymous epistola; the word mesh descends from Old English masc "net".
History
The pistol mesh grew out of several earlier technologies, all the way back to the first flag-lamp steeplepost [~optical telgraph] lines in the eighteenth century allowing short texts to be sent between signal towers.
A century later sees the emergence of tachygraphs, devices allowing one to type text directly onto the barrick steeplepost [electric telegraph] from the comfort of one's home. However, it was only with the rise of general augrimmers [computers] in the twentieth century that we start to recognise the modern pistol mesh.
By the late twentieth century, the pistol mesh was sufficiently mature that whole enterprises could be conducted using it as a medium. For example, at this time the Tremonow Open School (formerly the Brethin Mesh Institute) offered history courses across Albion entirely via mesh. Another impactiful development was the blossoming of 'distributed bookhouses', repositories for free-to-access information (much of it lifted from books out of withholding [copyright]) to which anyone could contribute.

Ambrosia
Ambrosia (Vascon/Vask Ambroxa) is a polity of north-eastern Mendeva [North America], comprising several islands and much of the mainland up to the Five Seas [Great Lakes]. It borders New Provence to the south.
History
The story of Ambrosia begins with the Novomundine Landfall of 1471, when Vetomundine travellers encountered Mendeva for the first time since sporadic visits by the Norse. A Vask fishing expedition (part of the New Navarre Enterprise) landed on the island of Brasil [Newfoundland], which would go on to host the first European settlements in Mendeva.
The parts of Mendeva first explored by (and whose trade was monopolised by) Vascony—to wit, the island of Brasil and the lands westward thereof—was named Ambrosia in honour of Ambrose III of Vascony.
Ambrosia achieved political and economic independence from Vascony in the early nineteenth century as part of the continent-wide phenomenon of the Mendevan Unmooring.
The first long-distance transmission of an image took place in Ambrosia in 1820, employing the so-called Steeplepost Tapestry (consisting of a wall of tiles painted black and white on each side). This device would soon go on to be the subject of the infamous Lies of 1824.
By the 1880s the most urbanised parts of Ambrosia were connected by wired tachygraph [~fax typewriter], allowing messages to be sent from home to home.
In 1950 the Japetos submarine Atlantic link conveyed its first messages. It was laid down between Gadire in Morrack [Morocco] and eastern Brasil.
Places
Aiga d'Angoixa, a major city on the Oxagre River [St Lawrence] and location of the original Steeplepost Tapestry
Illa de Vinna Salvatge [Île d'Orléans] , a built-up island in the Oxagre
Paratzon, a town in eastern Brasil
People
Fabian Mostàf (fl. c19), astronomer who worked at the observatory at Paratzon Cristòf Unquenjica (fl. 1971), author of popular history text Going to Brasil

reu "stream"
reu /raw/ [ʀaw]
stream, brook, creek, beck, a small river;
track, route, a course of way especially one fixed for vehicles like trains or else a path conceived of as one from a choice of multiple such paths;
module, class, course, a taught series of lessons or lectures covering a particular topic in the context of a syllabus with many concurrent such courses;
channel, source, feed, a particular source of media (whether radio, TV, internet, etc)
Etymology: from Old Boral riu "stream, small river", from the synonymous rīvus in Latin. First attested in the scholastic sense from eighteenth-century student slang at the Vithor New School, and in the last sense first applied to tachygraph casting in the twentieth.

Fiellas Dimenja
Fiellas Dimenja (English: Sunday Sheets) is a weekly newspaper almost continuously published from Marsella since its incorporation in 1871. The paper's notional remit comprises entertainment and recreational news, although in practise it has regularly covered weightier subjects.
History
Fiellas Dimenja was established in 1871 by Corsican businessman Toscobardo Matutte in concert with the Guiraud Colloquium.
Fiellas was an early adopter of machinal [automatic] broadcast direct to homes via their tachygraphs [~fax typewriters], first offering digests in this form in the 1920s.
The paper developed a significant international readership through the twentieth century—by 1934 it was republished synchronously in Vascony and New Provence, and was even read in Collusion territory, despite the rising tensions of the post-Millstone Europe.
By 1950 it held the record for the longest uninterrupted weekly mass-market publication, without interruption by the 1937 Veldsvindung [global economic downturn] nor the Millstone War (although it briefly moved its printers to Manòsca during the worst of the bombings).
Fiellas' renown grew further after its significant role in the Furore of 1961, which (not undeservedly) earned the paper a reputation for investigative journalism alongside its ostensible purpose of delivering entertainment and recreational news.
Correspondents
Jacint Brunat (fl. 1950), reviewer of books and films
For the best experience I recommend you spend the afternoon drinking Empordan and singing as many songs of glory as you can think of. [The Ascendant (1934)]
This will be no classic: come only for the views (of beautiful forests, and a bevy of handsome actors, I concede) and two hours of mindless tragedy. [Zachariah (1950)]

Steeplepost
Steeplepost refers to any of a group of similar technologies (flag-lamp, barrick, longform, gyrer, etc.) used for transmitting messages over long distances.
Development
The very earliest incarnations of the steeplemesh arose during the Democratic Wars of the mid-eighteenth century, but these tended to be single lines of temporary signal towers set up to span terrain that made it too costly to simply send a rider with a message. Moreover, these were set up only to transmit simple messages; for example, an hour to launch an attack.
These early wartime towers usually relied on lampfire and thus were reliable only at night, or else a collection of patterned flags, which were usable at day but required a shorter distance between watchtowers. The two-arm system, allowing up to nine separate states to be transmitted, was first tested in Thynen (a town in Willemy), where the church's weathervane was reportedly commandeered to send the first lines of the Pater Noster to the neighbouring town of Bost. (Hence, probably, the name “steeplepost”.)
By 1820 Ambrosia had unveiled its Steeplepost Tapestry in Aiga d'Angoixa, which promised to allow the (very slow) transmission of images along the lines by communicating the brightness of each pip in an enormous grid, in the manner of a cross-stitch. It was on the Tapestry that the infamous Lies of 1824 were first displayed.
The very first cross-sea steeplepost lines were established around the same time, with air-steeples in the Rustigh Strait connecting Borland to Willemy during the 1830s. This link would last only until 1854, however, when it was replaced with a barrick line.
The middle of the nineteenth century saw the flag-lamp system gradually superseded by barrick lines generally. Uptake was uneven owing to the twin constraints of geography and vested interests; for example, Mendevan powers tended to embrace the new technology more enthusiastically than their similarly-situated Vetomundine counterparts.
The new lines made partially-automated transmission much easier to develop. A prototype wired tachygraph, the Vilmanas Teleclavia, first succesfully sent a message via the steeplemesh in 1859.
Encoding
Steeplescripts, or methods by which a message is translated into a transmissible form, have many forerunners in secret codes used for spycraft and warfare. For example, Markland under King Andrew II during the Wars of Fealty employed "Thieves' Script" to send secret messages, converting each letter or common word into a series of three symbols.
One early line in Andalus (from Cordova to Málaga, usually given as the first line connecting two major cities, and essentially just formalising the signal system that had existed for the duration of their conflict with Morrack) used a variant of the ancient Polybius square adapted for Arabic script.
The first modern steeplescript was developed in Cracow by engineer Sigmund Adamich and his son Andrei as part of the royal initiative to connect Cracow to Bitom, using a set of four symbols, traditionally referred to as "dot, dash, bar and hook".
Cultural Detaxion
The spread of the steeplemesh reduced overland communication times extremely rapidly (by the end of the nineteenth century some places boasted thrice-daily post delivery, not to mentioned the nascent wired tachygraphs), and undersea barrick links would further connect the world.
Steeplemesh may have contributed to the decline of the voidtale fashion, demystifying formerly-unknowable distant lands and weakening the cultural narrative of the pioneering documentarian explorer.

The Early Tachygraph
extract in translation from Vitoria Queiros' 1998 quaterno Thirteen Inventions which Changed the World.
Interim, ny ci region la gent lou adoptan tostessem, y [tachygraph] surcourn carið cos stoniscent. However, in those places where there was early adoption, the [tachygraph] proved astonishingly popular.
Y ci region prepondran citað fort appopulað e domain urban aðoinç rapid souvant. These were usually dense cities and urban areas undergoing rapid growth.
Ne Safford, com bustr, ja fornið con doujug fondaminal e starc d'accaçment, y joun Bourgmer Crawford surveilau l'instauration dy preu banc redirigent a ambit accacer. In Safford, for example, which already had a robust postal infrastructure, the young Mayor Crawford oversaw the installation of the first redirection banks in post offices.

These pioneered the system in which a given missive would be prepended with a borough code (for example, Makerfell's was MKF) allowing the switchers to send the message through to the correct local post office, followed by a house code (eventually standardised to four digits followed by a letter) whence the message could be transmit to the correct machine.
