Chauncey NJ. Depew's speech at Chi
cago marked new era in the use Of the
monograph. For the first time on an
occasion Of this kind in this country a
speech has been taken down without tho
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 a feat unparalleled in the
history Of newspapers.
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 a cylinder, which, when filed. was
withdrawn and replaced by a fresh one.
The withdrawn cylinder was then car.
red from the stage and placed in another
instrument.
The second instrument ground it out
through rubber tubes placed in the carr
Of swift operators on typewriters. Thus
it was that the opening sentences Of Mr..
Depew's speech were in the hands Of the
various newspapers, and in some instan-
ces actually in type. before the closing
sentences We're uttered by the speaker. -
