Show Telegraphic Typewriter. Henry Hartman, the electrician In the rear of 1153 Twenty-second Street, lias a draft of an invention of his own conjecture, which if made practicable in the machine itself may revolutionize the telegraphic tele-graphic business. It Is an electric telegraphic typewriter. type-writer. The plan is simple enough loan electrician or a telegrapher, but whether it can be operated with sufficient speed Is a question which the draft does not answer. There is a revolviug key boarJ, and from this a roll of pajier of the ordinary width used on a typewriter or for letter writing runs as the letters let-ters are made Into words and the words fill tho lines. The sender strikes his key as the letters come around and the electric current running run-ning along tho line reaches there-ceiverand there-ceiverand he simply watches his key board and sees the message printfd In plain type. The machine alinHo do away with the use of an operator's ears and permit his eyes to attend to the business. Mr. Hartmann is confident that iiehas built the foundation at least for a machine which will be very valuable, although his present plan may be somewhat imperftct. The draft Is worth inspecting at any rate, and the idea Is not a bad one by any means. Standard. |
