A very widespread and increasing
use OF the typcwriting machine is for
tho reception OF te,cSraphic dispatches.
This method Is peculiarly adapted 70
the reception Of dispatches for tho
press. Formerly the duplication waS
done by the slow process OF the stylus
worked by the hand and tho u3o OF
carbon paper. It was difficult for the
rccaiviny operator to l:o,p up with
the rapid sender Of n message. But
now an expert typewriter takes mas
sagcs re fast rs they cau be sent. and
duplicates them at TIE sano time. MAX

could make one. Oaly - verY expert

him two books containing dir
