TYPESET TING
BY TELEGRAPH

An interesting discussion took place at
a meeting of the Institution of Electri-
cal Engineers. when Donald Murray
read paper on an automatic high speed
page printing telegraph system, says the
Lopdon Express. The apparatus employs
the shortest telegraphic alphabet, and
therefore, the quickest. The Murray sys-
tenn of printing by telegraph is a great
advance on other methods, and 1t has
been used by the British postoff1ce with
great advantage The German postoffice
has been giving 1t a prolonged trial and
the Russian postoffice has just given an
order for the apparatus. BY means OF
the apparatus, which is far too compli-
Gated machine to the uninitiated to be
described in q non-technical article, tel
egrans are printed at the receiving sta

can be attached to linotvDe machine
