HERE'S ANOTHER NEW AIR
TRANSMITTING DEVICE
DETROIT.—What next?
Reporters at the scene of activity
typing a story being transcribed sim
ultaneously in numberless editorial
rooms or homes
Police guided1, quickly to the scent)
of 'a crime by a code message which
cannot be intercepted.
Actors in a central broadcasting
station depicting a drama as it is ap
pearing, words and actions, in a thou
sand theaters throughout the world.
All these possibilities are con
tained in the Watsongraph, a radio
apparatus demonstrated Wednesday
morning by its inventor,. Glenn W.
Watson, at the Wardell Apartments,
iu the presence of radio and elec
trical engineers.
An ordinary machine* resembling a
typewriter, to which a revolving disc
had been attached, had been set up
in -tmt> room. A machine resembling
it w»s in a distant room.. All that
was needed to operate the machine,
the inventor pointed out, was a
knowledge of the alphabet. He typed
a message, on the keyboard. In the
distant room, catching the radio im
pulses, the receiving machine record
«i it instantly.
A clever machine, the witnesses
agreed. A machine which will revo
lutionize the transition of written
messages with precision, rapidity
and, if desired, secrecy.
The success of the machine, it was
said, lies in the syncronization of the
revolving discs. Each contains the
letters of the alphabet. Each revolves
in perfect rythm with the other.
As the key for a letter is depressed

two machines working" in harmony,

The Endless possibilities, of tnc
machine provoked a dong .discussion,
among the engineers huddled . abeat
"aching the simplicity of the opera
tions, n the group was Captain. Don
ald Leonard «f the state pplico. and a
member of the Wayne county police
chiefs. To him the possibilities of
the contrivance as a medium for lend
ing speed and secrecy, to police move
ments, was an interesting factor. All
stations in the state and even coun
try could be linked together. A mes
sage could he flashed from a central
station to all police cars throughout
the state coordinating a search for
lawbreakers.
The possibilities of sending mes
sages to all moving vehicles was dis
cussed. Ships at sea, aeroplanes,
trains and automobiles are enabled to
receive information by simply leav
ing a receiving set in tune
By putting a number of receiving
discs in syneronization, Mr. Wardell
said, pictures and words of the actors
would be flash, d from a broadcasting
studio in numberless theaters. The
demonstration ended and engineers
walked away in pairs still discussing
the applications of the contrivance.
