distinct characters, aHl the ten numerals
and dots. Upon the face OF this dial moves

This is used for reporting by sight. The
operator moves a hand IN correspond.
ing dia., and all the reporters II, the ulher
end OF the line have 10 do is to write down
the letters as Indicated by the hand Oh the
dial there. The rapIdiy with which this
can be done lar tfanscends any reporting

besides its power OF accommodating fifty or
more reporters at the same time. This
part Of the apparatus can he used alone, or
be Instantly connected with the Type and
Printing apparatus when it is desired to
obtain the reporl IN an enduring form, or it
can bo closed when private communca.
tions are transmitted.
The printing apparatus is so constructed
as 10 print with clear legiblc impression

time upon both sides Of the paper, which
renders misprinl impossible. The tspe

and after making an impression clean

and important invention Is the arrangement
by which two currents are made 10 traverse
the same conductor and effect different
ends without eilecting each other.
Instead OF the common magnet, Mr..
pease uses ore Of his own invention, which
he styles tho Compound MuItiplcr.
Ia briel, the superiority Of his Repeating
Telegraph over others may be summed up
as follows:
First. In the simple arrangement Of the
Dial Register whose finger indicates letter

word. From this Dial any number of per.
sons eau copy for themselves. In connec.
ton with the printing apparatus, which prints
upon both sides OF the paper, and il desired

Second. The simple manner by which

which type distribute ink and clean them

Third The compact form the different
