A TELEGRAPH PRINTER
A NEW SYSTEM. INSTALLATION FOR AUCKLAND-WEL-LINGTON CIRCUIT. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, May 8. Arrangements for installation of a modern machine printing telegraph system at Auckland are to be made by the chief engineer of the telegraph department (Mr E. Shrimpton), who left Wellington to-day. The system, which has been, in operation between Wellington and Christchurch since December last, enables one wire to carry such an amount of work that when the installation is complete it will be possible to free telegraph wires for telephone work. The Postmaster-General ( the Hon. J. G. Coates) informed a press reporter to-day that he therefore expected shortly to be able to announce that the telephone service between Wellington and Auckland would be available continuously.
