Telautograph promised by Elisha Gray at the Denison
In Omaha news notes Professor Elisha Gray of Chicago demonstrates a telautograph that transmits handwriting over wire. The device records pen movements on ordinary paper at a distance, enabling checks and drafts to be sent in the writer’s handwriting. It is compact, secure, and touted for mercantile use ahead of telephonic text. The article also covers advances in teaching deaf mutes speech, detailing a method using mirrors, larynx, and breath control to form vowel sounds and syllables.
