Abstract
ONE of the recent developments in wireless telegraphy, which, as we have already announced briefly, was demonstrated by Mr. A. A. Campbell Swinton during his address on November 17 to the Royal Society of Arts, is the automatic printing of wireless messages in roman type. Several systems of printing telegraphy are in use on ordinary lines, but the ingenious method designed by Mr. F. G. Creed is, we believe, the only one that has been adapted to the printing of wireless messages. High-speed wireless reception in various forms is being used to an increasing extent, and Morse code messages are recorded by optical and mechanical methods, as well as by an instrument analogous to a phonograph; but the actual printing of the words in ordinary type on a paper strip presents obvious and very great advantages.
