NEW “TELEPRINTER” SERVICE. Rugby, Jan. 22. Sir Kingsley Wood, Postmaster-Gen-eral, speaking this evening at Birmingham, said the Post Office hoped to introduce in a few months a remarkable new service, which was the result of the work and skill of British inventors, known as the teleprinter exchange service. The new method would enable a message to be typewritten automatically between the offices of any two telephone subscribers at any distance from one another- who had teleprinter machines installed. A typist in one office would type a message and ft would be printed simultaneously on both machines, so that both subscribers would have a complete typed record of all communications exchanged. The machines provide a safeguard against wrong connections. Sir Kingsley Wood hoped the service would be available to London subscriber. by the spring and to subscribers in thr piowinees by the summer.
