Gently. 1t is an electrical writing ma
chine called "telescripteur," the inven-
ton OF an Austrian engineer named
Hoffman, and 1t has aroused a great
deal OF interest in electrical circles. In
Its general appearance the telescrip-
teur Is like a typewriter. The machine
Is connected with the telephone In some
manner not yet revealed, but without
the use OF a special wire. The letters
OF the message are printed upon the
familiar narrow tape in clear type by
the writer using the instrument, and
the wonderful part Of the invention Is
the fact that II a similar machine IL
attached to the receiving end OF the
telephone, II Immediately prints the
message simultaneously with It's COM
position on the sender's machine. As
o on as the central telephone Office
makes the connection the machines be-
gin to work. and the receiver continues
to grind out messages as long as they
are sent. Theoretically, the machine Is
expected to work perfectly at any dis
lance, and for officials, institutions, fac
tories. offices, newspapers and all
places where a large number OF tele-
grams are received, the machine is
bound to be a great boon. as by means
