touch. Each Morse signal, and the ele- ments of which 1t is made up, namely, the dot, dash and space. are transmitted by the mechanism of the transmitter by the absolute accuracy and uniformity, in- dependently of the skill of the operator. The space between the signals, however, is entirely within his control so that he can space the letters in difficult words more widely than in others.
 "The rate of speed at which each sig nal is transmitted is also governed by the mechanism of the transmitter and is al ways uniform. All rates of speed from very slow to very fast are secured by turning a button at the left of the trans hitter. Tne proportion between the length of the dot, dash and space, however, al ways remain the same, and is so arranged as to make the signal firm, or as firm as | it is possible for signal to be made at the rate of speed used. This firmness and the absolute uniformity of the transmitter | made signals insures their carrying | throuhg the longest circuits and through the largest number of sets of repeaters, at much higher rate or speed than IS possible by hand.
 On Friday mordning, April r, the en- tire early morning report of the Associ- ated Press, about 5000 words. was sent | from the Chicago office of that company with transmitting typewriter over a circuit made up as follows: Chicago, Lou isville Cincinnati, Nashville, Atlanta,
 Memphis, Little Rock, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Galveston, St. Louis, Kan sas City. St. Joseph, Denver, Pueblo, Salt Lake City, Reno and San Francisco. In this circuit there were seventeen sets of repeaters-two at Cincinnati, two at Nash ville one at Memphis, one at Little ROCK, two at Dallas, one at Chicago and at St. Louis, two at Kansas City, one at FL liot two at Denver, one at Salt Lake City and one at Reno, Nev. This work was commenced at o'clock in the morn ing and finished at o'clock. There was one break from Salt Lake; none from San Francisco
 "The transmitting part of this machine and the ideas embodied in it are entirely
 new It has been invented, perfected and manufactured by practical telegrapher,
 The purpose of the inventor from the very start was to provide for telegraph | operators a mechanism for transmitting Morse signals which would relieve them | from the terrible nervous and physical | strain to which they are subjected by handsending
 "The transmitting typewriter has been | officially adopted by the Associated Press, l and has been in successful operation upon l their heaviest circuits for many months. | This company has purchased complete equipment of transmitting typewriters | for their offices at New York, Chicago, | Washington, Philadelphia and Pittsburg. l "The special leased wire system of The | Chicago Record-Herald, which carries to | that great newspaper the dispatches from | their correspondents at New York and | Washington, is completely equipped and | has been worked for many months by | transmitting typewriters purchased ex- pressly for that service. About six | months ago transmitting typeWriters | uuadruplex circuits of the Western Union Telegraph Company working between
 New York and Philadelphia. They in-
 creased the capacity of that wire and | at the same time greatly reduced the
 physical and nervous strain upon the op. | orators.
 ''The so-called bonus wires of the Pos. | tai Telegraph Company, working between | New York and Philadelphia and between
 New York and Buffalo, probably the two
 fastest commercial wires in the country
 have been and are still being worked
 successfully by transmitting typewriters
 "The new machines have also been pur.
 chased and installed upon the lines of the | Pennsylvania Railroad west of Pittsburg
 the leased wires of the American Tir
 Plate Company, the National Transit
 Company and many other large compa.
 nies interested in the telegraph"
