INVENTIVE RIVAL OF EDISON
Patrick b. Oelany Father of the Sys-
TEN of Rapid Automatic
Transmission.

An inventor with tho mind OF a seer
and a prophet is Patrick 3. Delaney. who
10 now working on problems In wireless
telegraphy At his station and laboratory
at Nantucket. Though conducting his re-
searches with studiohs insight and alb
sorbed attention, as has always been his
habit, he Is able to sec the possibilities
n utilizing the forces Of nature in largo
and most practical ways in the great world
OF commerce For example, with an anti
induction cable which he once invented.
the Standard Underground Cable company
OF P%ittsburR, to which he sold his patent,
has become one OF the largest cable manu-
facturers in the world. Other inventions
of his have greatly enlarged the sphere
of American prestige in inventive genius.
Even as a boy. while receiver at a telo-
graphic instrument In a new paper office
at Worcester, Mass, Mr., Delany aston
iRhed the veterans by his ability to take
messages twenty or thirty words behind
the wire" that Is. he was able to re.
member the message as 1t came along and
take 1t down deliberately almost at leisure.
Before he was Is. he filled the principal
positions in a telegraph office as operator,
sifice manager and superintendent of lines.
10 AhN'AAhAShe III AiN A9fbAdpn lltlu began
In 1871. at which time and for three years
afterwards he was associated with Mr..
Edison In experiments in q system of rapId
teiesraphy, for which a wire was con-
structed between New York and Washing
ton. Later he sold a patent known as
'Delany's relay" Cor anti Page relay" as
II was sometimes called and a patent on
an anti-induotion cable. both OF whieh in
v~entions netted him a fortune, which en-
abled him to delve still further into his
chosen pro~fession-an opportunity for
which he awaited himself to good purpose.
one of the exceptional things about MIR
Delany's success Is that he has been able
from his private means. which have been
self-earned. to continue his work without
financial difficulties. In 1885 he was
awarded the highest honors "a gold medal
and diplomat by the International Inven-
lions Exhibition held In London, and this
OF course, gave him worldwide prestige.
Since that time his principal inventions
have been in synchronous multiplex tele-
graphy, In ocean cable telegraphy at high
speed and through a repeater. and In
automatic rapid biography. His greatest
invention Is the Telepost system for auto
matte rapid transmission, This apparatus
roughly described, takes down the dots
and dashes by punching a succession Of
holes in a tape at the operators usual
speed; and this tape can be unreeled
through another instrument at incredible
speed Of transmission at any time.-Human
