that there is no suspicion of wrong do

proposed legislative investigation was
merely for the purpose of taking stock

Machine May Abolish
Stenography.

LSa ns~ arsef for way ss.,al.. will sss
i to= depend upon pirate stenes-
raphers or typewriters. Central
typewrfting exchanges, to which let-
ters can be. dictated over the telephone
circuit and returned for signature IN
a few minutes. are to*be established in
large office buildings and hotels in
New York md other Eastern cities. :.
Such a. scheme has been made prac-
tical by itieans of the telegraphone,
which not only makes a perfect repro
duction of the human voice, but also
records everything that passes over the
ordinary telephone. These records are
stored upon a thin steel wire or disk
and can be reproduced an indefinite
number of times. or removed when
there is no further use for them.
Each, of the central exchanges will
have a number of telegrap phones and
staff of typewriter experts and trained
hngutsts. When the business man or
the guest in a large hotel wishes TO
dictate; he VIII pick up the receiver of
his telephone and ask. to be connected
with a -telegraphone in the exchange.
By means of small switchboard he
will have complete control of the ma
N4lAi4t ~ WHICH ne is 0lCldIlnE IN the
exchange. If it should be necessary 10
make any changes in the letter a push
button is pressed, which brings a pair
of magnets, stronger than those which
made the record into contact with the
wire, and any part or the whole of the
letter is Immediately wiped out In
the same way records of dictated let
ters are wiped out as soon as trans
cribed, SO that the machine is always
ready for use at any. time.
AS soon as the dictation Is finished
the typewriter operator places the tel
egraphone saunders to his ears and
transcribes the records which have
been made, returning the letters to the
office from which they were dictated.
The matter transcribed might be In.
English, French, German or any other
language. 1t might be legal, scientific
or technical, full of difficult words and
phrases which would tax even the most
highly educated and expert stenoe-
rapher to take down in shorthand with
rapidity and accuracy. When the CEN
.tral typewriting exchanges are estab-
lished telegraphones will enable bust
ness men to dictate letters at a great
speed, in any language and on any
subject.
