The company deployed ticker tape telegraph machines in various establishments such as offices, gentlemen's clubs, and banks, ensuring a continuous flow of commercial information. In 1876, Extel expanded its services to include a parliamentary service, followed by a general news service in 1879 and a legal service in 1891.
