...machine itself is decidedly unimpressive in general appearance. A wooden box scarcely the size of the smallest of radio receiving sets, contains everything save the three dry cells required for running the voice transmission machinery. Like any phonograph or mechanical flatiron the device can be wired to an ordinary electric light circuit. It resembles a typewriter when one raises the cover. For the recording wire, nearly two miles in length, is coiled upon two revolving wheels, like the more conventional typewriter ribbon spools. When the machinery is operating, the wire is carried through a tiny box, passing a magnetizing device...

Not among the marchers, but far away in London attending to "urgent business." True, he did wire the "boys" that he would be with them for a Sunday, but what is one day out of the 12 that the "army" expected to take to accomplish its journey? These were some of the questions and answers of supercilious critics...
