There was no Northern Territory Expedition 1880-1890 - the 1885 date estimate is to be ignored. When Fred Goss was Station Master at Daly Waters the system was upgraded to Duplex...." early in 1898, the Duplex System of sending or receiving two messages at the same time was introduced. For this purpose, a second wire – copper, the resistance of which was less than half of the old original iron line - facilitated the transmission of the business by at least 100% for two reasons. One, on account of the lower resistance, and, two, having now two wires, we could, when a fault occurred in a section of the copper, cut out that section and cut in a section of the other in its place." ......."Of the two experts, Mr. E Johns went to Darwin by sea and took charge of the Section for the time being, while the other, Mr. G Field, went overland to fix up the repeaters at Charlotte Waters, Alice Springs, Powell’s Creek and Daly Waters."{"Life in the Never-Never country of South Australia in the '70s to '90s : by a Telegraph Operator" author Frederick Goss}
