although telegraphic printing systems were first invented by royal earl house in 1846, early models were fragile, required hand-cranked power, frequently went out of synchronization between sender and receiver, and did not become popular in widespread commercial use. david e. hughes improved the printing telegraph design with clockwork weight power in 1856, and his design was further improved and became viable for commercial use when george m. phelps devised a resynchronization system in 1858. the first stock price ticker system using a telegraphic printer was invented by edward a. calahan in 1863; he unveiled his device in new york city on november 15, 1867. early versions of stock tickers provided the first mechanical means of conveying stock prices ("quotes"), over a long distance over telegraph wiring. in its infancy, the ticker used the same symbols as morse code as a medium for conveying messages. one of the earliest practical stock ticker machines, the universal stock ticker developed by thomas edison in 1869, used alphanumeric characters with a printing speed of approximately one character per second.
