Quadruplex Telegraph System Loosed on Circuits
The Quadraplex and The Western Union Telegraph Co adopt a quadruplex system on the Virginia and Salt Lake line enabling four messages on one wire. Locally, a Sazerac Lying Club member near Dry Creek reports the wire groaning and knotting as if a quadruplex message tangled midline. He tried to straighten it but a man with a crowbar planned to remove some of the biggest words.
