Biography

Resulting from a modest family, it grows in the family farm. In July 1870, it enters to the administration of the telegraphs. Inspired by the scientific aspect of its work, it decides to continue higher learning. Autodidact, it spends his time learning the Mécanique and the electricity. Wanting to increase the flow of the telegraph collections, limited by the capacity of the human operators, he imagines an electromechanical system of sending and reception of the telegraphic signals making it possible to multiply the quantity of information circulating on a line. With the World Fair of 1878, it gains the gold medal, as well as the congratulations of engineers of the whole world.

Posterity

  • the term “Baud” (measurement of the number of symbols transmitted a second by a modulated signal) is derived from its name.

  • In 1949, the French Poste emits a series of stamps of which is dedicated to Emile Baudot. The stamp indicated its birth date in 1848, whereas it had been born in 1845. The stamp will be reprinted thereafter, but the erroneous stamps are as for them very required (see).
