It consists ot two Instrument, a transmitter and receiver, each provided with a roll of pnper of convenient aire for writing. I?ch tost-ther arc about half the slr. of a type writer. In writing at the transmitter, au or dinary pencil Is used, n-nrth" point of whleh two S'Ball cords are fastened at right angles to each other. These connect with the In strument, and, following tho movement of the pencil, regulate the current Impulse which guide the receiving-pen at tho distant station.
