AMERICAN INVENTION.
TYPE SET BY TELEGRAPH. NEWSPAPERS' EXPERIMENTS. (Received August 11, 5.5 p.m.) NEW YORK, August 10. The act of setting type by telegraph in a series of distant newspaper offices by the operation of a machine in a cemtral office has been accomplished in the past month on newspapers served by the news agency of the West Chester County.
The device is the first practical teletype setter. It eliminates the telegraph operator and the handling of copy in the office of the receiving newspaper by sub-editors and compositors.
The machine sets type automatically. An item may be cut or edited to a limited degree at the receiving end, but, if tho maximum speed is desired, a message must not be intercepted. ■
