TELEGRAPHIC IMPROVEMENTS
DELAYS DUE TO THE AVAR.
[BY TEI.EORArH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
Christchurch, Tuesday. In conversation with a reporter to-day regarding the work of his Department with special reference to the effect of the war upon orders for material, the Hon. R. Heaton Rhodes,. Postmaster-General, said that not only was the war delaying the delivery of automatic telephone apparatus for Auckland and Wellington and several smaller, places, but it was delaying the installation of the Murray multiplex printing telegraph apparatus. Two quadruplex sets had been'under order for some months, one for the Wellington - Christchurch. and the other for the Wellington - Auckland circuit. The apparatus would, it was confidently expected, enormously increase the carrying capacity of those circuits, enabling eight messages—four forwarded and four received—to be sent over a single wire simultaneously, and so lessening the cost of transmission.
