About: Aethographor   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

Also called an aethographic transmitter (although properly that is only one half of the machine, the other being an aethographic receiver). This is a wireless communication apparatus that does not suffer from electromagnetic disruption like the telegraph (which was abandoned as a failure). Two machines with matching valves (properly termed crystalline valve frequensors) can transmit messages through the aether to each other. The message transmitted is called an aetherogram. There are a little under 100 aethographers in the United Kingdom at the time of Changeless.

  • Also called an aethographic transmitter (although properly that is only one half of the machine, the other being an aethographic receiver). This is a wireless communication apparatus that does not suffer from electromagnetic disruption like the telegraph (which was abandoned as a failure). Two machines with matching valves (properly termed crystalline valve frequensors) can transmit messages through the aether to each other. The message transmitted is called an aetherogram. There are a little under 100 aethographers in the United Kingdom at the time of Changeless. Each machine is very large, with two rooms: one containing the aethographic transmitter for sending messages and the other containing the aethographic receiver for retrieving messages. A prototype of the valve used in these devices was stolen by Monique de Pelouse in Etiquette & Espionage. Several groups sought to acquire the prototype, including Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing School for Young Ladies of Quality, a group of flywaymen, and the Picklemen.
