Such a sfieed of operation was quite beyond the range of thethen available telegraph instruments, and accordingly special transmit-ting and receiving instruments were required. The multiplex dis-tributor of the Western Klectric printing telegraph system provedan excellent transmitter for experimental purposes and, for receiving, 372 BELL SYSIEM TECHNICAL JOURNAL use was made of a rdinlurud xacuiiiii Uibe aiiiplitier and signal shapingnetwork, the signals being recorded on a string oscillograph.
