new MACHINE TALKS To
500 PEOPLE At once
Quicker Method Of News and Stock
Quotation Distribution Made Posi-.
bic by Pouison Invention.

New York, Dec. 26-Talking to five
hundred people simultaneously over
the telephone Is the latest wonder
made possible by Voldemar poulson' 1
invention, the telegraphone. A spec.
ial type Of this machine, the talking
telephone" Is to be used for distribat.
ing stock exchange quotations and
news matter.
The telegraphone designed for this
purpose has an endless steed band
running over two cylinders. The op.
orator In the exchange talks off the
quotations into transmitter. Elec-
tro magnets record his voice on the
bands which then presses through n
series of reproducing magnets at
tached to telephone wires running TO
subscribers offices and ending In a
large sounder placer on the desk.
In this way the operator can re-
peat quotations or other news to any
number Of subscribers. They will at
once know of the fluctuations of any
particular stock as they occur ON the
floor of the exchange and could, If
necessary, reach the exchange long
before the news would have been de-
livered by the usual ticker tape. In
fact the business man will be able to
go on with his work and at the same
time hear what Is happening at the
exchange just the same as though he
were present there.
For sending out news dispatches
the same apparatus will he used. The
news dispatcher will he able to taik
to any number of newspaper offices
at any distance covered by the tele-
phone wire. and messages can be
sent to as many az a thousand papers
at the same time. In cases where It
is desired to keep record Of what II
coming In, telegraphone win be at.
tached TO the telephone or telegraph
wire In the receiving office. The tel
egraphone win record and store tho
messages SO that they can be run off
any number OF times.
