rangements had been designed to give up
to six transmissions in each direction, but
1t seemed unlikely that anything more
than quadruple duplex (eight transmits
sions) would ever be required in practice.

Gently for the British postoffice, and was
now being installed between London and
Manchester Before this an experimental
set. giving one transmission only, was
made by the British postoffiee and tried
for about six months between London and
Birmingham. The results were surprisingly
good. The sending operators. were two
girls without previous experience on type
writer keyboards and yet within one month
they were each punching from forty to
forty-five messages an hour. After about
three months practice each of these two
girls succeeded In perforating 100 messages
in one hour. Excluding several days when
there were Interruptions and breakdowns
due TO imperfections in the experimental
apparatus. and excluding several days
when traffic was light, the average num-
Der OF messages on the one channel or
transmission Of the multiplex was over
eighty an hour On several days during
busy hours the average exceeded 100 mes
sases an hour. On one day, for instance,
during three consecutive hours from 10 q.
m to 1 p. m, the numbers were lo4, 1925
and lo2 messages an hour.-Boston Tran
