Typewriting by Wire.

The telotype, or electrical typewriter, has been designed to meet the requirements of a rapid and reliable printing telegraph instrument,

which has long been needed. This instrument is manipulated very much in the same way as a typewriter. The transmitter as well as the receiver makes a copy of the message, and the liability of mistakes is thus largely decreased. The instruments worn in unison, and it is impossible to send a message from one machine unless the corresponding machine at the end of the distant line is properly receiving. The record is plainly printed on the strip of moving paper in front of the operator. The same instrument can send and receive.
