...Multiplex telegraphy...
...control system used on the Utah differs somewhat from that perfected by Inventor Hammond, though the principal features are the same and the Navy is using Hammond patents. But on the Utah the use of practically standard multiplex telegraph equipment permits single signals to be distributed to various apparatus in different parts of the vessel. Thus a signal for increased speed will open throttle valves, turn electric switches, regulate the supply of oil pouring into the boilers...
...name of Maj.-General George Owen Squier, retired chief signal officer of the U. S. Army, stood out from the list of exhibitors. In his baggage of accomplishments are these devices depending upon abstruse physics: the sine wave systems of telegraphy, multiplex telegraphy and telephony, tree telegraphy and telephony, broadcasting over power and telephone lines by radio frequency currents (wired radio). General Squier's exhibit at Chicago was an unexpected non sequitur to his previous work. It was a woman's powder compact, rigged with a strap for wrist wear. A tiny handle pulled out a small drawer...
...whole image-pattern recorded by the photo-electric cell. The next problem was to transmit the seven fractional image-messages simultaneously upon high frequency ether waves. This Dr. Alexanderson had found still beyond the reach of practical radio, but calculated it could be achieved by the Hammond multiplex system (TIME, Oct. 26, 1925) using waves between 20 and 21 metres long. At the reception end, the multiplex message would be retransformed into seven beams of light which with proper synchronization, would reproduce the image-fractions. To throw these images together on a screen he had arranged 24 mirrors...
...Chicago, with its Catholic population of almost a millon and a half, his Grace, for he is Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Chicago, has full opportunity for the workings of his multiplex genius. He assumed his archiepiscopal duties at the end of 1915, having come from the auxiliary bishopric ol Brooklyn, and immediately took leadership in the religious, political, patriotic, educational and civic life of the city...
