Chauncey NJ. Depews speech at Chi
cago marked new era in the use of the
rhonograph For the first time on an
occasion of this kind in this country a
speech has been taken down without the
aid Of stenographers. By the use of the
phonograph the entire speech was given
TO the press two hours after it was deliv-
cred. 1t was feat unparalleled in the
history Of newspaper
The method used was that Of placing
an operator with the instrument in the
flies. The operator repeated into the in
strument the utterances of the speaker
These were recorded by the instrument
upon cylinder, which, when filed, was
withdrawn and replaced by fresh one
The withdrawn cylinder was then car
RED from the stage and placed in another
instrument.
= The second instrument ground 1t out
through rubber tubes placed in the ears
of swift operators on typewriters. Thus
1T was that the opening sentences of Mr.
Depew's speech were in the hands Of the
various newspapers, and in soms instan-
ces actually in type, before the Closing
sentences were uttered by the speaker
