Show THE CITIZEN 3 Miracle of V oice in Code Message T ransmission INVENTIVE GENIUS TRANSMITS VOICE TO ANY PART OF THE WORLD BY CHARACTER SIGN OR BY SOUND. INSTANTANEOUS RESULTS since the invention of the tele- graph instrument and more especially the invention of the telephone a century ago the electrical half only transmission of code messages and of the voice ha3 been adapted to business enterprise in a multitude of ways. The enormous demand for these services has stimulated improvements and additional inventions until the scope of their use is almost beyond the grasp of the average lay mind. For ex- Jmple, transmisson has developed to the point where two pairs of wire may be utilized to set up the following number of messages simultaneously: 3 ordinary telephone messages. 4 ordinary morse or telegraph mes sages. 3 carrier telephone messages. 20 carrier morse or telegraph messages. In other words, 30 messages may be transmitted over two pairs of wires at same time without the least bit of interference. When Lewis and Clark started from g St. Louis on their trip time Oregon, they raced against claim the region for the young re- public, but it took 18 months to reach the mouth of the Columbia. As late as 1852 it required six months to cover the trail from Iowa to Sacramento. In 1861 the pony express established a record by carrying the first Inaugural address of President Lincoln from the rail head at St. Joseph to Sacramento, in seven days and 17 hours. Today, thanks to the development of our telephone system, any person in any part of the United States, at hour of the day or night, can directly with any other person in any other part of the country. It of a the voice only to cross the continent by tele- phone. Ordinary telephony and telegraphy well known to the ordinary lay- man. Since the advent of the type- writer, a little morq than twenty- - ive years ago, most telegraph messages have been written out on that instrument as received by the telegrap.u operator. As the need for labor and time saving devices became apparer a means of operating the typewrite by remote electrical control was sought. The simplest means of operating a typewriter from a distant keyboard would be by means of a group one for each of separate circuits,, . rAliT typewn er. pera ng F lA, then close a contact, and energize tne proper magnet of the distant machine, and pulling up an associated type bar epoch-makin- one-fiftie- th .iiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiin ) s I Lawyer, Doctor, Merchant or engaged in wmi other pursuit you will find Everything for Yonr Office s KELLY COMPANY I at Waa 4180 Was 4181 !ULI(IIIIU!IIIIIIIII1IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII1III? printing a character. The obvious jection to this arrangement is the large number of circuits required, posing a prohibitive charge, The idea was then conceived that ob-Ev- er im-sin- ce . gjnce a signal would be a single pulse 0f current over a single circuit, it was possible to send all pulses over a single circuit, guiding them into their individual channels at the receiving end by some identifying mark. . MorsTteYephy'thelettem" are transn;itted by means of a code of dots, dashes and spaces. This same idea was applied to the Telephone Typewriter and a particular sequence of current impulses and spaces was evolved. In this system use was made of five elements. As each element may be an electrical impulse or a space, various combination of the five elements provides a total of thirty-two signals. Counting both the up- Positions, corre-th- e spending to the shift on the ordinary P lowe,r typewriter, 26 letters and 26 numer- as an punctuation marks, a total of 52 letters, numbers or other charac-t- o ters are possible. This leaves 6 com-t- o binations, 5 of which are used for spacing, carriage return, paper feed, figures and letters and the sixth is left blank.
