Dexter MANS DE-
VICE FOR READING
TELEPHONE MESSAGES

Dexter. Me-, May IA little device
which gives promise of adding much
to the usefulness of the telephone is
the invention of Liston L. Hardy of
this town. The invention represents
seven years of experiments, five of
which have been devoted wholly to an
effort to perfect it.
The invention, in brief, is an attach
ment to the ordinary telephone which
recoNs messages in the absence Of the
subscriber. Should the subscriber be
son should call his 'phone\the device
will take down and record any message
and, upon his return the subscriber
has but to take down his receiver.
press a button and listen to the mes
sage or in fact to any number of
messages which have been left for his
ear When perfected the attachment
is supposed to work on any and all
telephones without altering or remov-
ing any part of the phone or wires.
The only addition to the phone is a
small box-like ringing attachment and
the recording devise. all of which are
compact and require very little space.
:, Not only will the recorder take down
messages for the subscriber. but will
work reversely. Should the subscriber
desire to leave a message for someone
else he has but to talk his message
into his receiver and the friend upon
calling his phone number can hear
his words spoken clearly and distinct
ly. The same method with slightly
different machine can be worked for
the receipt and dispatch of telegraph
messages. The attachment will make
necessary the use of more batteries
than on the common phone and also
certain coils which, II there is much
business, may have to be renewed per-
haps once annually.
Mr.. Hardy has applied for patients
for his device and has also succeeded
in interesting the telephone officials in
the matter. AS 1t stated above he has
worked on the device for seven years
and five years of continuous labor has
been given by the inventor to the per-
lection of his recorder.
During that length Of time he has
made more than 400 experimental
parts. the greater part Of which have
been thrown away. Money as we'll as
time has been expended in an effort to
perfect the device which now gives ex-
ceptional promise OF being a success.
Mr. Hardy's invention was given its
first real tryout on Feb. IA, 1917, when
he received his first call over the wires
and recorded the ticking Of a watch at
a distance Of 60 rods. The ticks of the
watch can now be heard on the record
er. Mr.. Hardy intends to leave soon for
experimental laboratories, where he will
perfect his invention and otherwise pre-
pare IT for the market. AS far as is
known there is nothing like it in exist
ence. and its possibilities have been a
revelation to some of the prominent
telephone officials who have inspected
1t.
