PINCKNEYVIILE. Ill, March L.
Having adjusted few wires and
applied little varnish, N. ]. Mot
felt. Illinois Central station agent
here, today announced that his an
nouncer was complete and that none
of the elaborate hotels or union sta
tons had anything on him.
The Pinckneyville station Is tho
scene of greatest activity in tho
town. but, despite the arrival and de-
parture Of many trains. there Is no
confusion. All OF which proves Moi
fett's ability as station agent.
When a train pulls tn Moffett steps
to the wall. talks into an ordinary
telephone transmitter and everyone
within and without the station is
told what the train is and what
stations it will make.
Inventor Moffett obtained two big
eraphaphone horns, bored holes In
each side of the ticket Office and
attached the horns. Two ordinary
telephone receivers were soldered to
the horns. Then telephone wires
were strung from the horns to a little
telephone box on the wall. With this
simple equipment Moffett keeps the
difficult situation under control.
