TELEPRINTER FOR POLICE
A teleprinter began to click in a police headquarters how quickly, with cently, and spelt out a message of a smash and grab raid on a jeweller's shop at Amersham. It was sent out to show visitors to the new county police headquarters how quickly, with the teleprinter's aid, the resources of the force may be mobilised. Within a few moments the same message might have been reproduced in four other district stations for broadcast to sub-stations and road patrols. The teleprinter is now being used by a number of police forces, but Buckinghamshire has the first system to be equipped also for telephonic broadcasting to the connected stations. When the new building was opened Sir Walter Carlile, chairman of the County Standing Joint Committee, described it as "a model of what county headquarters should be."
