It Is a m o u I r v o ir f that that w wo to 0 see HOC 00 such sucU achievement ement i t tho o field at ot 7 t v k And we should IlO an expectant mind for what whal la is yet cl to come conic Moro More wonderful dl discoveries in th the thc realm ol or of science clence and invention ton InC will vilL be brought brough broughto to the worlds world's worl's notice In the next ten years ears Already there Is err l perfected an automatic auto auto- malic matic machine cal called d the Delaney i System of ot sending ending tele telegrams rams over a an ordinary telephone wire while 1110 the wire is In use and transmitting 1000 words word worda a n minute without Interfering with the he Th conversation con going on over o th this wire wire Patrick Dolaney Dolane worked 20 years year year to perfect the Invention and at lashe last las he has arrived The Delaney Delane system is designed 1 to transmit and receive messages at the rate rata of at 1000 1000 wor words s a minute over a distance of oC 1 L 1100 miles though a speed of ot words a minute line has his been obtained ob ob- tamed on a short experimental line lne I Preparing n a Messages are aro ro sent by means menns of ot a perforated tape which Is la prepared l In Inthe inthe the perforating machines The rhe tape Is drawn at nt any desired speed through tho the perforating machines under a pair of ot steel punches punchs Each of ot these punches Is operated b bv by a n magnet magnet The magnets arc controlled by tho the usual Morse transmitting l key e A downward stroke of ot the tho key causes one o of the punches to operate and ant upon release of ft the key ee tho other punch operates Thus Thus-eRch operation of ot a ke key whether for tor a a dot or a dash serves serea to make mako two iper ono near tho the upper edgo edge and the tho other near the lower edge e of or tho the tape Tho primary and I secondary ei perforations have havo o ha an angular Jar lar nl relation to toach ach fach other which Is due lue to the fact that the tape Is 15 constantly con con- running c arid and which varies yarle with wih the Interval of ot time between the tho downward downward down down- town town- ward stroke and the tho release of ot tho the kc key Sending P a n When hen a a. message has been perforated ed Cl In iii the tape tho the latter tater is passed through t tho the transmitting machine through Hero Here the tho primary perforations op co-op- rato with the suitable mechanism to Hend ent positive electric Impulses through the line while tho the secondary perforations perforations tons
