NEW AND UPDATED VIDEO:made a world in VRChat from scratch using the tools in the VRC SDK and Unity. Creators around the world are passionate about Unity. Every day, they create and publish amazing games and experiences and share them with the world. You can learn all about them in our blog, forums, and at Unity.

The UI system makes it easy to create UI that is positioned in the world among other 2D or 3D objects in the Scene.

Start by creating a UI element (such as an Image) if you don't already have one in your scene by using GameObject > UI > Image. This will also create a Canvas for you.

Set the Canvas to World Space

Select your Canvas and change the Render Mode to World Space.

Now your Canvas is already positioned in the World and can be seen by all cameras if they are pointed at it, but it is probably huge compared to other objects in your Scene. We'll get back to that.

Decide on a resolution

First you need to decide what the resolution of the Canvas should be. If it was an image, what should the pixel resolution of the image be? Something like 800x600 might be a good starting point. You enter the resolution in the Width and Height values of the Rect Transform of the Canvas. It's probably a good idea to set the position to 0,0 at the same time.

Specify the size of the Canvas in the world

Now you should consider how big the Canvas should be in the world. You can use the Scale tool to simply scale it down until it has a size that looks good, or you can decide how big it should be in meters.

If you want it to have a specific width in meters, you can can calculate the needed scale by using meter_size / canvas_width. For example, if you want it to be 2 meters wide and the Canvas width is 800, you would have 2 / 800 = 0.0025. You then set the Scale property of the Rect Transform on the Canvas to 0.0025 for both X, Y, and Z in order to ensure that it's uniformly scaled.

Another way to think of it is that you are controlling the size of one pixel in the Canvas. If the Canvas is scaled by 0.0025, then that is also the size in the world of each pixel in the Canvas.

Position the Canvas

Unlike a Canvas set to Screen Space, a World Space Canvas can be freely positioned and rotated in the Scene. You can put a Canvas on any wall, floor, ceiling, or slanted surface (or hanging freely in the air of course). Just use the normal Translate and Rotate tools in the toolbar.

Create the UI

Once the largest cable operating company in the world.
It originally had offices st 66 Old Broad street, but moved to a new
Head Office at Electra House, 84 Moorgate, London, EC2., in 1902.
A 1915 form gives it as Electra House, Finsbury Pavement (London, E.C.)
Some time between 1922 and 1927 it also opened Tower Chambers at Moorgate.

This page is new and very much a 'work in progress',
Try not to trip over the scaffolding.

THE EASTERN TELEGRAPH COMPANY
(for a reasonably complete history, see Atlantic-cable.com)

Reasons for inclusion.

This is a rather isolated page.

My website is primarily about telegraph stamps, though it now has a new section of Telegram Seals that includes quite a lot on telegrams.
I have also been able to add a lot of stationery rececently to some sections, notably the British Electric Telegraph Company.
As I have gradually expanded the scope of the website, the 'elephant in the room' has become harder to avoid.
Though not, as far as I know, issuing it's own stamps or even telegram seals, this company was the glue that eventually, largely held most of the rest together.

Not having been there at the time, I need sources of information.
Firstly, Distant Writing by (the late, and great) Steven Roberts.
Other sites worth a look are Atlantic-Cable.com.
and Having the Revenue on a Line (PDF)

According to Grace's Guide, John Pender created the company in 1872
by amalgating and reorganising several companies (starting in 1868). These were:
Mediterranean Extension Telegraph Co (1868)
Malta and Alexandria Telegraph Co (1868)
Anglo-Mediterranean Telegraph Co (1868)
Falmouth, Gibraltar and Malta Telegraph Co (1869)
This was the link with Britain, but despite the name, they switched to Porthcurno, Cornwall
which was chosen rather than Falmouth to reduce the risk of cable damage from anchors.
British-Indian Submarine Telegraph Co (1869)
Marseilles, Algiers and Malta Telegraph Co (1870)

This network created a near monopoly for many destinations from Britain.

When the Post Office took over operation of the private telegraph companies, it left a lot of loose ends.
The Submarine Telegraph Company (STC) was not taken over since the nationalisation was limited to the inland telegraphs.
The STC maintained control of its submarine cables until 1889 when the 40 year monopoly it had been granted, expired.

1868-70 Precursor companies:

In 1902 the Eastern Telegraph Company erected a Wireless Telegraph mast at Pedn-men-an-Mere, near Porthcurno where they had a submarine cable since June 1870.
Porthcurno is near Land's End, Cornwall and was the terminus for submarine telegraph cables from 1870 to 1970, connecting with the Americas and India via Europe.
This Telegraph Station was once the largest cable station in the world, and also had a Telegraph training school. It now acts as a Museum of Global Communications.

UK Stationery

Eastern Telegram and registered envelope of 1915, courtesy of Jim Hammond.
Alexandria to Newbury, Berkshire, England, 12 December 1915.
Does anyone know the significance of the 'Paslondon 83' or perhaps 'Paslondin 83' cachet on this and the first shown below ?
It is not clear from this image (on a white background), but at the top the telegram has a Perfin of PBC9.
The two (half size) images below on a black background make it clearer:

The Perfins appear to be World War I censorship marks, with PBC indicating 'Passed by Censor' and the number presumably designating the specific Censor.
Numbers known are 9, 11, 16, 26 and 45.

A Cablegram of 25 December 1926 from Buenos Aires, with envelope promoting Unity, Goodwill and sales 'Via Eastern'. Images courtesy of Bill Glover at Atlantic-Cable.com

A Telegram of 31 December 1927, front and back used at Tower Chambers, Moorgate, London. The back still shows Electra House as the head Office though. Images courtesy of Bill Glover at Atlantic-Cable.com

Received in London, England in 1928 and posted to Hamburg, Germany.

Non-UK Stationery (though printed in London)

An undated form for use at Cairo. The address is a pre-1922 adress. Courtesy of Jim Hammond.
This is for 'Telegrams to all parts of the world'.
There is nothing on the back, but abbreviated terms and conditions at the bottom. No printers imprint or date.

'(Message Forms 5/20)' dated 14 March 1925, for use at Trieste.
This was from Las Palmas.
No printers imprint, Image courtesy of Bill Glover at Atlantic-Cable.com

An undated Message Form 5.1,2,3 & 10 for use in Malta, courtesy of Jim Hammond.
This is for 'Deferred Plain Language Telegrams'.
This was presumably never sent, since it was mostly not filled in. There is also no indication of the date of it.
It does though give the terms and conditions. It was printed by Waterlow & Sons, London Wall.

Non-UK envelopes

Receipts

In Pera (Istanbul):

A receipt of 1921 - from RL.

More receipts are shown in the HAVING THE REVENUE ON A LINE (PDF).

Money transfers

This was sent, 21 April 1906.

Tariffs

Here is a leaflet detailing tariffs as of 6 June 1922, courtesy of Jim Hammond.
Front cover, inside and back.
Note the frequent 'ALL RATES ARE SUBJECT TO ALTERATION WITHOUT NOTICE' - prices could be affected by business decisions, sabotage and/or acts of war. Rates for other years would be very welcome.

Eastern Extension

Around about 1875, the British India Extension Co., China Submarine Telegraph Co., and the British Australian Co., amalgamated to form an extension to the existing Eastern Telegraph Co.
This became known as the Eastern Extension Telegraph Co.

Here is an example of an Eastern Extension - Receiving Form used at Penang on 16 July 1924 for a telegram from Madras.
It was printed in England by 'William Brown & Co. Limited, Export Stationers, &c., London, E.C.'
Scrapbook for mac.

Here is an example of an Eastern Extension - Receiving Form used at Singapore on 26 February 1920, or is it 1926 ?, for a telegram from Madras.
Again it was printed in England by 'William Brown & Co. Limited, Export Stationers, &c., London, E.C.'
Image courtesy of Bill Glover at Atlantic-Cable.com

A similar style to the above, - Telegram received at Singapore on 12 June, ostensibly 1933, for a telegram from Saigon.
It has a printers imprint at the top, but I cannot make it out. It does not look like William Brown.
Image courtesy of Bill Glover at Atlantic-Cable.com
This envelope appears to go with the above.
It is to the same person at the same address and also on 12 June, but has a handwritten 23 for the year. Was it 1923 or 1933 ?
I suspect the handwritten date is more likely to be correct. Image courtesy of Bill Glover at Atlantic-Cable.com

Here is an example of a Receiving Form used at Singapore on 24 September 1924 for a telegram from Karaikudi, India.
Again it was printed in England by 'William Brown & Co. Limited, Export Stationers, &c., London, E.C.' I see no Form number or company logo.
Image courtesy of Bill Glover at Atlantic-Cable.com

Here is an example of a Typing Received Form used at Singapore, 2 days later on 26 September 1924 for a telegram from Saigon.
Again it was printed in England by 'William Brown & Co. Limited, Export Stationers, &c., London, E.C.'
This is similar to the last, but with form number and Reply Advice. No company logo.
Image courtesy of Bill Glover at Atlantic-Cable.com

Another printed by 'William Brown & Co., London. - this a Transmitting Form used in Madras May 1923, for a telegram to Madras? From who ?
Perhaps this was used as a receiving form for a telegram from Penang.
Image courtesy of Bill Glover at Atlantic-Cable.com

This is an example of an Eastern Extension - Typing Received Form used at Singapore, for a telegram from Saigon dated 24 January 1922.
It was printed in Hong Kong by 'Tho Kae Shean & Co.'

Unity World Headquarters At Unity Village

This printed in Australia. - A Receiving Form used in Adelaide 9 May 1947, for a telegram from a Pyrologist somewhere ?
Perhaps that was on the 1ST SHEET ? It has a nice map.
Notice 'CABLE AND WIRELESS' at the top and 'MARK YOUR REPLY 'Via Imperial' at the bottom.
The connection to Madagascar here is different to the 1927 map showing it connected to the mainland instead of Mauritius. Image courtesy of Bill Glover at Atlantic-Cable.com

Eastern Associated

In 1902 the Eastern Telegraph Company and The Eastern Extension, Australasia & China Telegraph Company, together with 10 other smaller companies, created The Eastern & Associated Telegraph Companies'Cable System.
Map circa 1922.
