Radiotype looks like an ordinary typewriter, can be operated by any typist, can handle invoices, statements, inventories, any size paper, complicated or simple forms. More versatile than teletype, radiotype is also twice as fast, can transmit and type 120 words a minute. Stocky, blond Inventor Lemmon is working with Assistant Engineer Clyde Fitch on attachments to make radiotype do and transmit the work of adding machines, cash registers...
...Inventor Green, a lifelong member of the International Typographical Union, prefers not to think about the effect of his labor-saving machine on employment in his craft. Backer Johnson hopes it will mean bigger papers, thus even more jobs. The I. T. U. has already assumed jurisdiction over all workers operating the Teletypesetter...
...demonstrated their perfected Semagraph in the Manhattan offices of the Associated Press. Seated at an electrically driven typewriter, a girl clicked out a story. The typewriter's type bars carried coded combinations of dots under each character and the "copy" showed these dots. As each page was completed, Inventor Green lovingly inserted it into a Semagraph transmitter. Simultaneously, in the composing room of the Charlotte Observer 611 miles away, a telegraph printer reproduced the copy exactly. This copy, in turn, was fitted into the slots of a Semagraph setter unit attached to an ordinary linotype. With no further...
...transmitter or in the linotype activator, the light is focused on the coded dot combinations and reflected into the photocell. The varying combinations cause correspondingly varying pulsations in the photocell. These pulsations actuate the appropriate mechanisms in the telegraph printer and in the linotype (or Intertype). Its inventor claims that the speed of the Semagraph is limited only by the speed of the linotype. The number of teletype printers that can receive Semagraph copy from one transmitter is unlimited. Semagraph copy can be sent in different type sizes and column widths...
...estate to his widow with the proviso that Audrey Bridget and Frank Dan Jr., "the good son," inherit it later. Thereupon Elisha and his second wife marched out of their small flat in Greenwich Village, reminded his relatives of the will left in 1901 by his great-uncle, Inventor-Founder Lewis Edson Waterman. None of the Waterman clan but Elisha had remembered that this sage greybeard bequeathed 60% of the fountain-pen stock to Frank Dan Waterman with the proviso that on his death it go to Elisha. Said Elisha last week as he became executive vice president and director...
