Storia (Tedesco) |
Thomas Thompson Eckert war ein Offizier der US-Army sowie in leitender Position bei Western Union. Der 1825 geborene Eckert war von den Aktivitäten von Samuel F. B. Morse fasziniert. 1847 reiste Eckert nach New York um zu sehen, wie die neue Telegraphen-Linie von New York nach Washington D. C. funktionierte. Er war begeistert und blieb gleich als Operator bei der Morse Telegraph Company. Nach seinem Dienst in der Armee wurde Eckert selbst zu einer zentralen Figur der amerikanischen Telegraphie. Als Western Union und American Union Telegraph fusionierten, wurde Eckert zum Vice-President und General Manager ernannt. Er wurde damit zur zentralen Figur der Expansion von Western Union. 1893 folgte Eckert Dr. Novin Green als President von Western Union. Von 1900 bis zu seinem Tod im Jahr 1910 war er dann Chairman of the Board of Directors. | |||
Storia (Inglese) |
Thomas Thompson Eckert was an officer in the U. S. Army and an executive at Western Union. The 1825 born Eckert became interested in the use of the telegraph and the actions of Samuel F.B. Morse. In 1847, after telegraph lines were built from New York to Washington D.C., Eckert decided to travel to New York in order to see the Morse telegraph in action and became an operator with the Morse Telegraph Company. After his service in the army he established himself as a major figure in the American telegraph industry. When Western Union and American Union Telegraph merged, Eckert was named vice president and general manager of the expanded Western Union. Eckert, in his role as vice president, was an integral part of Western Union's management and growth. In 1893, Eckert succeeded Dr. Novin Green to become president of Western Union. He retired from this position in 1900 to become chairman of the board of directors. Eckert held this position until close to his death on October 20, 1910. | |||
