PRESS RESULTS BY NEW SYSTEM.
OUR TELEPRINTER SERVICE
For the first time in the his- tory of the Colony, Race Meet- ing results, together "with cash sweep and pari-mutuel figures, are being transmitted direct from the Racecourse to a news- paper office by "the teleprinter system.
The machine in use comprises two units, closely resemblingor- „dinary typewriters, one situated at the racecourse and the other in the Hongkong Telegraph office, Ita operation is simplicity itself. Our representative at the Races types the results, figures, etc., at the transmitting end, and these are simultaneously recorded at the receiving end, ready for the printers' use. The consequence fis that as soon as the result of a race la known, it is registered in the Telegraph office.
Never before has this method of transmission been used for Buch- a purpose in any newspaper office in the Far East
