"A Lineman For the Country"[]
Ring of Fire (anthology). Scottish military dispatch carrier Douglas Lawrey falls in with telephone repairman Len Tanner and irascible coal mine switchboard operator Ellie Anderson. They have been unable to convince anyone to develop telecommunications abilities beyond Grantville. While stringing the first phone line to nearby Saalfeld, Len and a downtime assistant are captured by a group of raiders planning to hijack a Grantville gun shipment. In the struggle, the prototype phone is damaged, but the trussed up Len finds the battery and wires and manages to send an SOS to Grantville. After foiling the hijack, Ellie realizes that the old-tech phone was still too high tech for the time period. Morse keys can be manufactured quickly, and investors found to fund the telegraph wire network.
"Diving Belle" with Gunnar Dahlin[]
Ring of Fire II. Downtime con artist Fermin Mazalet collects funds to raise the Swedish warship Vasa, but an uptimer plans to actually do it, using a diving bell.
