THE RADIOTYPEWRITER
A wonderful invention is t 9 be seen at the International Business Machines Building in New York. It is the radiotypewriter, consisting of an ordinary typewriter resting on a cabinet containing a radio apparatus. A message typed on the machine is converted into signals which flash through the ether and descend on another typewriter, setting its keys going furiously. Even in a city like New York, which is literally teeming with broadcasts all day and night, there remains a little zone of ultra short wavelengths of which the inventors have been able to take advantage, and it is estimated that as many as 5000 such machines could be used at one time in the city without interfering with each other. Exactly what the uses of such a machine will turn out to be in business remains to be seen, but that the wireless typewriter works has been amply proved.
