New Telegraph System Promises Faster Messages
A new telegram method speeds writing to finish in ten hours versus one hundred under the old system. Subscribers can buy a three dollar machine to write or punch messages, then have them transmitted and printed in Roman at destination. The rate for ten to a hundred words over 1200 miles may be about 20 cents. It will start between New York and Washington and could extend to ocean cables with high word counts per transmission.
