This wonderful system Of telegraphy IS
accomplished BY means OF a light ray
travelling over sensitized paper. The
graphite pencil at tbs transmiIJer end has
TWO electrical contacts. one for horizontal
and the other for vertical movement, a
curve being made up Of the component
parts Of one OF the other. On taking the
pencil from OF its rest, a tiny electric

On laying the pencil down, the lamp IS

pushes forward the sensitized paper. on
which the message has lust been uho+o-

seconds the writing or sketch becomes
visible, while another film Is unwound
from the spool and placed IN position TO
