Improvements in or relating to Facsimile Telegraph Apparatus.
A communication from Dr. WILLIAM P. DUNLANY, Physician, residing at 73,
Fourth Avenue, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, United States of
America
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT, of 111, Hatton Garden, in the County of London:
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
.
The invention relates to that class of fac-simile telegraphs wherein a message
or picture is transmitted by means of a stylus on a relatively moving surface which
on a conducting or
make and break connections according as the stylus is
insulating portion of the surface.
The object of the present invention is to simplify such telegraph instru-
ments, render them more accurate and efficient, more easily adjustable to meet
the varying conditions presented, and adapt them to receive a message or
picture by a direct impression or a hammer and anvil movement, instead of by
an electro-chemical change in the receiving surface.
A suitable frame or box encloses a motor and governing resistance, and the
telegraph instrument proper is carried on the top of the box. This instrument
includes a rotating cylinder which is removably carried by a shaft which is
journalled in suitable bearings extending upward from said box. At the end of
the shaft is a movable bearing which may be turned down out of the way to
allow the removal of the cylinder, which is supported by engaging at its ends
with insulating thimbles or heads surrounding the shaft. The inner head has a
metallic band insulated from the shaft bur connecting with the cylinder, and
thus electrical connection is made from a metallic sheet which the cylinder may
carry to a metallic brush engaging with said band.
Gears of different sizes are located on the cylinder shaft and these mesh with
corresponding gears on an intermediate shaft. This intermediate shaft carries
a gear which meshes with a pinion on the armature shaft of the motor, whereby
it and the cylinder are rotated. The gears on the cylinder shaft are rigid while
those on the intermediate shaft are loose, but are adapted to be clamped one at a
time to that intermediate shaft. This clamping is accomplished by having the
intermediate shaft hollow and having within it a plunger which carries a pro-
jection extending through a slot in the shaft into a groove in the gears. Thus
by shifting the plunger inward or outward the projection is caused to engagé
with any of the gears on that shaft and lock such gears to the shaft, the other
gears being free and idle.
The cylinder carries on its surface the transmitting or receiving sheet and is
At the same time it is necessary that the

transmitting stylus or the receiving hammer as the case may be should travel
along the cylinder. This operation is provided by the following mechanism:
The transmitting stylus and receiving hammer are carried by arms which are
pivoted to an armature head which is pivoted to a suitable frame carried by a

page_text: travelling carriage. This carriage travels along a stationary rod at the rear of
the instrument, and along a rib at the front side, on which takes a small wheel
at the front of the carriage. The carriage is driven by means of a nut which it
carries through a spring bar which engages with a longitudinal screw placed
parallel with the cylinder and rotated at different speeds by means of gears on it.
which engage with the gears on the cylinder shaft. The gears on the screw are
free, but any one is locked to the screw by means similar to that described for
the intermediate shaft. Thus the same revolution of the motor which rotates
the cylinder drives the carriage along parallel with the cylinder. At the end
of the movement the nut carried by the carriage may be thrown out of engagement
with the screw and the carriage returned by hand.
It is desirable that the machine be adapted to carry more than one size of
cylinder for the efficient transmission of different size pictures, and also that the
receiving cylinder may be able to enlarge or reduce the image transmitted. In
order that such enlargement or reduction shall maintain the proportions of the
original picture, the cylinders vary in proportion to the speeds at which the screw
is adapted to turn by its different gears, and thus if the speed at which the
cylinder is moving by the stylus or hammer in a rotary direction is increased or
diminished, the speed at which it moves by in a longitudinal direction is varied
the same amount.
Using different sized cylinders it is necessary to shift the transferring or
receiving member to bring it into proper relation to the surface of the cylinder.
This is accomplished by means of the frame which the carriage supports and
which frame carries the transmitting stylus, the receiving hammer. and the
magnet for operating the latter. This frame is a plate suitably guided across the
carriage and adapted to be shifted laterally thereon.
In transmitting, the stylus makes or breaks the contact by reason of engaging
with a metallic surface or an insulating surface of the picture or message secured
to the cylinder. The metallic lines continue the circuit to the cylinder and out
through a suitable brush which engages with the band connected therewith and
heretofore referred to. When transmitting, the arm carrying the stylus is
turned up in a vertical position, and the stylus engages with the material on
the cylinder while during the receiving the arm carrying the hammer is turned
into this position, the other arm in either case being turned into the horizontal
position. The circuit which extends from the ground to the brush referred to,
and through the cylinder and transmitting picture and the stylus, continues along
the main line and at the other end actuates (preferably through a suitable relay)
the magnet carried by the frame on the carriage which magnet operated to draw
the hammer against the receiving material.
The receiving hammer consists of a very finely toothed wheel rotatably secured
in the end of a rod or screw. This wheel is adapted to be brought by actuation
of the armature against the material on the receiving cylinder which may be
alternate sheets of receptive and transfer paper. as white paper and carbon paper.
Now if the receiving point remains in sliding contact with the material it can
not bear against it hard enough. to produce the mechanical impression desired
without tearing flie paper; on the other hand if it is solely in roling contact and
is of narrow enough tread to make an accurate picture it will cut the paper.
After much experimenting it has been found that if the wheel have its periphery
made in the form of very fine and sharp teeth it will neither tear nor cut the
paper, on the one hand, nor on the other hand spoil the impression line, the lines
being composed of a series of dots so close together as to apparently make a
continuous line. In practice there has been used with perfect success a wheel
6 of an inch in diameter having 60 teeth on its periphery, the teeth being so
small as to be invisible to ordinary observation.
The transmitting stylus projects from a pivoted block which is carried in the
bifurcated end of an arm. A spring carried by the arm bears on the block and
forces it toward the cylinder, and thus the stylus may play back and forth lightly

page_text: the surface of the cylinder, but is guided against longitudinal displaceme
the forked end of the arm with which its sides engage.
The speed of the motor is regulated approximately by plugging in suitable
sistance, and more accurately by a centrifugal governor which as the speed
ncreases cuts in resistance into the field of the motor. Suitable mechanism is
Iso provided absolutely syncronizing the cylinder once each revolution. This
mechanism operates to hold up either cylinder that may be ahead until the
ther catches up to it.
The cylinder may be continuous, and in receiving may be covered by a tube of
alternate sheets of receptive and transfer paper slipped onto the cylinder over

lesired to carry on the cylinder not a tubular form of material but a flat piece
bent around, the cylinder may be slitted and provided with a pair of rollers
inside lying along the slit, and the edges of the material to be carried being
tucked in between these rollers may be tightly gripped by them. Preferably one
roller is carried in stationary bearings and the other roller in a pair of movable
arms, and set screws are provided which are adapted to adjust these arms and
thus cause the rollers to grip the sheet with desired force and to prevent it
drawing out.
Instead of making the slip connection which allows either cylinder to be held
up, between the cylinder and its shaft, the slip may be provided anywhere else
between the motor and detent which holds up the fast cylinder; and if it is
placed on the intermediate shaft referred to, it has the advantage of stopping
the screw at the same time the cylinder stops. Such a slip connection may at
the same time embody a speed changing mechanism. Thus, on this intermediate
shaft between two rigid collars may be placed two gears of different sizes. On
the inner faces of these gears are springs, and between these springs and screw-
threaded around the shaft is a clamping block which is adapted to be locked in
any position by a set screw which it carries. When the set screw releases the
block it may be turned by the hand into engagement with either spring with the
desired pressure and may then be locked by the set screw. thus the friction may
be adjusted and the speed changed according to the spring with which the block
engages.
In coupling up the instruments, suitable switches are provided so that either
instrument may either receive or transmit. When transmitting from an insulat-
ing picture on a metallic sheet and receiving by means of a transfer impression,
it is desirable to break the circuit at the receiving magnet when it is made at
the transmitting stylus, and vice versa, so that the picture itself and not the back-
ground will be made by the impression. This is accomplished by having the
main line connect with a relay magnet which when the main line closes, opens a
local line through the magnet which operates the receiving hammer, and when
the line opens closes such local line.

A communication from WILLIAM P. DUNLANY, of 78, Fourth Avenue, Cleveland,
Cuyahoga County, Ohio, United States of America, Physician.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BoutT, of 111, Hatton Garden, in the County of London,
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in

page_text: what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
―
The invention relates to that class of fac simile telegraphs wherein a message
or picture is transmitted by means of a stylus on a relatively moving surface
which make and break connections according as the stylus is on a conducting or
insulating portion of the surface.
The object of the present invention is to simplify such telegraph instruments,
render them more accurate and efficient, more easily adjustable to meet the
varying conditions presented, and adapt them to receive a message or picture
by a direct impression or a hammer and anvil movement, instead of by an
electro-chemical change in the receiving surface.
The invention may be best summarized as consisting in the means to the above
ends, as hereinafter described and definitely set out in the claims.
In the drawings, which clearly disclose the invention, Figure 1 is a side
clevation, Figure 2 a plan, and Figure 3 an end view. Figure 4 is a vertical
section on the line 4-4 of Figure 1. Figure 5 is a detail in side elevation of
the synchronizing mechanism. Figures 6 and are respectively an end view
and a side elevation partly sectional of a platen or cylinder for holding a trans-
mitting sheet. Figure 8 is a detail in vertical section of the means for varying
the speed of the revolving screw. Figure 9 is a similar view of the means for
varying the speed of the cylinder and the slip connection involved therein.
Figures 10 and 11 are details in vertical and horizontal sections respectively of
the receiving hammer. Figure 12 is a detail in vertical section of the trans-
mitting stylus. Figure 13 is a vertical section through the cylinder shaft look-
ing toward the cylinder and showing perspectively the synchronizing rings or
disks. Figure 14 is a diagram illustrating the operation of the telegraph.
Referring first to Figures 1 to 4 inclusive, A represents a suitable frame or
box which carries on its upper
Surface the telegraph instrument
proper. The instrument includes a rotating cylinder which is designated B.
This cylinder is removably carried by the. tapering spindle or shaft which is
journalled in suitable bearings a carried by the frame, and also in the
movable out-board bearing 1 which receives the conical end of the spindle C
This out-board bearing may be turned down to remove the cylinder B, a thumb
latch being provided for holding it in its elevated position, the point of the
latch taking into a stationary notch. The cylinder B is removably supported
by engaging at its outer end with an insulating thimble c on the spindle, and
at the other end by engaging with a larger cylindrical head c¹ carried by the
spindle. The head is insulated from the spindle and has the exposed metal
part Thus the cylinder is electrically connected with the ring but is
otherwise insulated.
Gears EE on the shaft C.mesh with the corresponding gears FF on the
shaft G to which latter shaft is rigidly secured the gear H which meshes with
the pinion m on the armature shaft of the motor M. The gears are
always in mesh with the corresponding gears FF, but the latter are each
loose on the shaft G and only one at a time is clamped to it. Thus according
to which one is clamped the speed of rotation of the cylinder is changed:
Figure 9 shows means for changing the gear which is clamped to the shaft G.
The two gears are loosely placed on the shaft between two rigid collars g'g².
On the sides of these gears which face each other are springs ff, and between
these springs and screw threaded around the shaft G is the clamping block J.
This block is adapted to be locked in position by the set screw which it
carries. When the set screw releases the block, the latter is adapted to be
conveniently turned by its flange into engagement with either spring f f
with the desired pressure, and may then be locked by the set screw. This
construction not only provides means for changing the speed, but it allows an
adjustable frictional slip connection which, as hereinafter explained, allows

page_text: he synchronizing mechanism to retard either instrument on the line if it is
unning too fast.
The cylinder B carries on its surface the transmitting or receiving sheet
At the same time it is necessary
and is rotated by the means above set out.
that the transmitting stylus or the receiving hammer, as the case may be,
should travel along the cylinder. This operation is provided by the following
mechanism. The transmitting stylus L and the receiving hammer Nare
carried by arms and which are pivoted to the armature head P which is
pivoted to a suitable frame carried by the travelling carriage Q. This
carriage travels along the stationary rod at the rear of the instrument and
along the rib on which takes a small wheel q at the front of the instrument.
The carriage is driven by means of the nut q' which it carries through a spring
bar and which engages with the screw R which is rotated at either of two
speeds by the gears I and 12 which engage respectively with the gears E and E².
Either gear II is locked to the screw by a device shown in Figure 8. There it
will be seen that the shaft of the screw is made tubular and a plunger K lies
within the tube and carries at its inner end a projection or blade k taking
through a slot in the shaft into grooves in the gears I I². The plunger has
a head beyond the end of the tubular shaft and thus by moving the plunger
inward or outward the blade k may be caused to engage with either of the
gears and lock it to the shaft, the other gear being free on the shaft.
The nut is held in engagement with the screw by means of the eccentric q³
which bears against the spring bar . Figure 4 shows such engagement.
When the eccentric handle is turned up the resilience of the bar withdraws
the nut from the screw. This allows the return of the carriage to its inital
position at the completion of an operation.
It is desirable that the machine be adapted to carry more than one size of
cylinder for the efficient transmission of different size pictures, and also that
the receiving cylinder may be able to enlarge or reduce the image transmitted.
In order that such enlargement or reduction shall maintain the proportions of
the original picture, the cylinders vary in proportion to the speeds at which the
screw is adapted to turn, and thus if the speed at which the cylinder is moving
by the stylus or hammer in a rotary direction is increased or diminished, the
speed at which it moves by in a longitudinal direction is varied the same amount.
The enlarging or reducing feature is illustrated in the drawing wherein the
gears are so proportioned that one speed of the screw is about one and a half times
the other speed and the cylinder B shown in dotted lines is about 1 times
the diameter of the cylinder B. Using different size cylinders it is necessary
to shift the transmitting or receiving members, and this is accomplished by
means of a frame O referred to, which carries the magnet 1" and the transmitting
a plate guided between
styius and the receiving hammer. This frame is
flanges extended across the carriage. In the form shown in the drawing
where but two sizes of cylinders are used, but two positions of this frame are
needed, and it is held in either position by a peg o.
" is
In transmitting, the stylus L makes or breaks contact by reason of engaging
with a metallic surface or an insulating surface of the picture or message
secured to the cylinder. The metallic lines continue the circuit to the cylinder
and out through a suitable brush engaging with the ring. When trans-
mitting, the arm is turned up into the vertical position, and the stylus engages
O with the material on the cylinder; while during the receiving the arm
turned up into this position; and the other arm in each case is turned down
into the horizontal position shown. The circuit which extends from the ground
to the brush s' and through the cylinder and transmitting picture and the arm,
continues along the main line and at the other end actuates (either directly
5 or through a relay) the magnet 1" carried by the frame which attracts the
armature P and draws the hammer N against the receiving material.
The receiving hammer consists of a very finely toothed wheel N carried by a

page_text: screw as shown, or in some other manner. This wheel is adapted to be
brought, by the actuation of the armature, against the material on
the receiving cylinder, which may be alternate sheets of white paper
and carbon paper. Now if
the receiving point were to remain
in sliding contact with the material it could not bear hard enough to produce the
mechanical impression desired without tearing the paper. On the other hand
if it were solely in rolling contact and were of narrow enough tread to make an
accurate picture, it would cut the paper. After much experimenting it has been
found that if the wheel have its periphery made in the form of very fine and
sharp teeth it will neither tear nor cut the paper on the one hand nor on 'the
other hand spoil the impression line, the lines being composed of a series of
dots so close together as to apparently make a continuous line. Figures 10
and 11 show on an exaggerated scale the notches in the wheel. In practice, a
wheel 16 of an inch in diameter having 60 teeth on its periphery, has been
used with perfect success, the teeth being so small as to be invisible to ordinary
observation.
The transmitting stylus L projects from the pivoted piece which is carried
in the bifurcated end of the arm 7 and has its sides engaging
with such forked end. A spring carried by the arm bears against
the edge of the piece. The stylus may thus play back and forth lightly on
the surface of the cylinder but is guided against longitudinal movement by the
forked end of the arm which engages with each side of the piece.
The speed of the motor M is regulated approximately by the resistance coils U
and the plates and plugs which are adapted to cut portions of such resistance
into or out of the field of the motor. For a more accurate regulation we place
on the armature shaft the centrifugal governor V which as the speed increases
draws toward the armature the sleeve from which extends upward the arm
which engages with the rear end of the pivoted arm. The pivot of this arm is
electrically connected with the field of the motor, and the arm carries (by means of
the pin extending through the slot ) the piece which is adapted to contact
with any of the plates 2, which are connected with the coils U, the circuit
continuing from these coils back to the field of the motor. This is a fine
regulation and operates to cut in more resistance as, the speed increases, thus
keeping the speed adjusted.
In order to absolutely synchronize the cylinders the following mechanism is
provided: Surrounding the bushing on the shaft C is the insulating band
and next to it the metallic band ct. At a certain point the surface of this
metallic band is interrupted by a piece of insulation and at a corresponding
point the insulating band is interrupted by the metallic piece electrically
connected with the band et. A lug c is secured to one of these bands and is
adapted to be in engagement with a pivoted detent lever W at the same time
that the interrupting pieces of metal and insulation are in engagement with
a pair of brushes The detent lever W is normally held in engaging
position by the bell-crank armature, W which is adapted to release the detent
lever when attracted by the magnet W. The line from the brush s at the
transmitting end of the line, and from the magnet at the receiving end, each
pass to the ground by a divided circuit partly through the magnet W₁ to the
brush and partly directly to the brush &³..
Now, during most of the revolution the current has the direct path to the
brush when, however the lug is just coming into engagement with the
detent lever, the insulated part cuts off this path for the current and the only
path the current has is through the magnet W and the brush. It can take
this path if both brushes (at the two ends of the line) are on their metallic
pieces, and this will release the lever W and allow the continued rotation.
If however, one cylinder is a little ahead of the other, one of the brushes 2 will
not stand on the metallic surface and the circuit will be broken and whichever
cylinder is ahead will be held up by its detent until the other arrives. The
motor governs the cylinder closely enough so that the brush at one end will

page_text: 5
t be on the metallic surface e until the brush s is on
the other end. Thus the cylinders are synchronized absolutely once each
volution.
Figures 1 and 2 show the cylinder adapted to be used with a tube of alternate
eets of receptive and transfer paper. These tubes are slipped onto the cylinder
er the end of it, the out-board bearing 1) being turned down for that purpose.
Figures 6 and 7 show an arrangement of the cylinder which allows the use of
sheet not made into the form of a tube. Thus, at the transmitting end, an
dinary zine plate with insulating ink en it may be wrapped around the cylinder
nd have its ends secured, and at the receiving end a mimeograph sheet may be
imilarly secured. The means provided for thus securing the edges of a flat
heet are as follows: The cylinder B2 has flanges b 2 which engage with the

Another roller is within the cylinder and has gudgeons y² which extend beyond
he cylinder, passing through slots in the ends thereof, and are carried by arms y
pivoted at the axis of the cylinder by surrounding the flanges 12. On these
arms are lugs against which bear the ends of thumb screws y carried at each
end of the cylinder. At the outer end of the shaft is formed the knurled
head by which the roller may be conveniently turned. The sheet T is
wrapped around the cylinder and its edges tucked between the two rollers y
and . The thumb screws are then tightened, when the turning of the
head of the roller draws the sheet tightly into place. and thereafter the
thumb screws are turned up tight to hold it in this position. The depression
between the rollers y and y' may be filled after the sheet T is in place by a
bar of proper shape (indicated by y in Figure 6) suitably held in place.
In the diagram (Fig. 14) the ring, for clearness, is separated and shown
above, while the rings are shown below. If the position of the two switches
designated X, X², be interchanged the mechanism may transmit from the
opposite direction. It is shown now as transmitted from instrument No. 1 and
receiving at instrument No. 2.

by the impression hammer. This is accomplished by having the main line con-
