The earliest reference to a fuse is open to question. It was suggested by W.H. Preece, during a discussion on a paper by A.C. Cockburn presented in 1887, that platinum wires had been used as fuses to protect submarine cables as early as 1864. But in 1880, T. A. Edison patented what might be regarded as the first 'modern' fuse: a semi-enclosed type consisting of a wire element surrounded by a glass envelope intended to protect the immediate environment from the effects of the wire melting.
