SrEARN'S DUPLEX TELEGRAPH INsTRU-
MENT-The International Telegraph CT mpany
1--we lately put into their Office in this city one
of the above named valuable instruments,
showing that they are determined to make all
the improvements upon their line and add to
their extensions whenever and wherever the
public demand. This instrument is particu-
larly valuable, since by means of it the opera
tor can both receive and transmit messages
over wire at the same time. The principle
upon which this instrument works is that Of
neutralizlng or balancing the effect of the send
er's battery upon his own relay; at the same
time leaving it in adjustment for the current
arriving from the distant station. This is ac-
complished in the following manner: An arma.
ture is placed between two electromagnetic Of
equal power, SO that when both magnets are
charged by equal currents no effect is prod need
on the armature. When the operator at Port
land closes his key to make dot or dash the
current upon his battery divides; equally, ore
half passing through the helix in front of the
armature and tending to attract it with force
o. say one ounce; the other half of the current
uses through the magnet behind the arma-
ture, tending TO attract 1t in the opposite direc-
ton with force Of one ounce. As these forces
are equal, of course no effect is produced on
the armature If now the operator at Boston
closes his key the current from his battery is
added to the current already upon the line; but
this additional battery power acts only upon
the magnet in front of the armature at Port
land, which not being held in check by any
corresponding back pull, is attracted as in an
ordinary relay magnet.
