ANTICIPATION.

Mr. T. E. Herbert, chairman of the Institution of Electrical Engi- neers (North-western Centre), gave his address at the opening meeting of the season in Manchester Inst month on "Ialand telegraphs." He Had deliberately excluded the Con tinental telegraph circuits, he said. because these were self-supporting and showed n profit,

He said that inland telegraphs were bought from companies in 2570, and it was now recognised that the £11.000,000 purchase price was too high. It was only 12 per cent less than the £12,500,000 paid

to

the National Telephone Com- pany in 1921 for the vastly larger plant of their telephone system!,

At the transfer special rates for Press messages were inaugurated by which additional copies of mes siges were transmitted at d. a copy. Thus a night Press message of 100 words could be sent to twenty different towns at a cost of 45. £d.

More Prophecies..

"It may be that several machines may be lined up on a rotary line switch with messages for a single subscriber and will discharge their messages in sequence. This plan will enable the messages to be dealt with in a strictly routine manner in the same way as the morning mail, without fuss or flurry. The telephone will, on the other hand, be used where discussion is essen- tial, and all trivial inquiries made. to important executives personally will be eliminated. I need not say how much time is wasted by in- quirics to particular people known personally to the caller for detail information which the executive has to obtain in a hurry while the telephone call is proceeding." A service of the type I have sketched will need a large number of cir- cuits, but these are already avail- able, since it has been demonstrat ed that telegraphs can be worked at sub-audio frequency on telephone trunks without appreciable de- terioration of the latter.'"
