Sonidos a la Distancia
Al establecerse el Observatorio Nacional en el Castillo de Chapultepec, en 1878, uno de sus cuartos fue ocupado por instalaciones telegráficas que mantenían en comunicación al presidente Díaz con el resto del país. A solo dos años de la invención del teléfono en Estados Unidos, se realizó aquí el 16 de septiembre de aquel año la primera transmisión telefónica experimental en México: la voz de Díaz se escuchó al mismo tiempo en este edificio y en Palacio Nacional, en el centro de la ciudad. Para finales del siglo XIX había en todo el territorio del país más de cinco mil aparatos telefónicos: el directorio de la Ciudad de México constaba entonces de ocho hojas.

By the end of the nineteenth century there were in the whole country more than five thousand telephones: the directory of Mexico City of consisted of eight pages.HM Number | HM1PSG |
