Though placed into service on April 28th 1852 Farmer's notes in diary form start on June 21st assessing the system while constantly citing ways to improve his new invention in very small part: ".Wednesday June 23 an alarm at 2:15.could not be easily read and caused a delay of 8 or 10 minutes.Saturday July 9th the circuit wheel of the key board needed repairs - the connector melted off by strong battery. July 10th Great Fire in Fort Hill. Alarm first came from Lower Boston plain. They tried to give it from Fort Hill & Persshar St. but both turned together turned too fast while ringing for So. Boston alarm came from Broad St. a delay in the time alarm of about 7 minutes.Friday Aug 6th Wanted! A Battery! Easy of manipulation. Constant & enduring in its operation. Powerful & certain in its effects & of small.cost! Sunday Aug 8th An alarm from D-7 at 12M. The operator did not understand it being the first one from that box & did not strike till the alarm came from I-4 at 12:15 P.M.Says he will recognize it next time. Oct 17th tried to raise an alarm from D-3 - S-3 4 & 5 but could not the lightning assertors were the cause of the difficulty.Friday Oct. 29th Put my newly invented battery on the South Boston signal circuit first time.
