The availability of the full text of releases issued over night first thing in the morning is often useful. Departments housed in International Building, Lee Gardens and Kowloon Central Post Office have been invited to use the teleprinters we have when they wish to do so. They cost only $200-$300
a month and are a useful means of communication. When we have more installed they will be used to send circulars, P.E.S. amendments etc., from Beaconsfield House during off-peak hours.
