From each house one or two men joined them, and in one case, from a squalid-looking doorway, a loud-speaking and wilful girl came out and insisted on getting into the cart. She talked to the men and shrieked loudly when any object, such as a barn or a tree, loomed dimly at the side of the road. Two of the men brought a lantern and walked behind.
The yellow-toothed, loud-speaking old lady had been persistent in her appeals to Rasputin to hold one of his meetings at her house, and he had, with ill-grace, acceded. On fully a dozen occasions the baroness, who was a close friend of old Countess Ignatieff, had interviewed me and endeavoured to enlist my services on her behalf.
It seemed to the listener that if the age of miracles was past that of marvels had arrived, and considering the simplicity of the materials, and the obscurity of its action, the loud-speaking telephone was one of the most astonishing of recent inventions.
Another notable use of the electromotograph principle was in its adaptation to the receiver in Edison's loud-speaking telephone, on which United States Patent No. 221,957 was issued November 25, 1879. A chalk cylinder moistened with a chemical solution was revolved by hand or a small motor.
Truly, a cutting of blocks with fine razors while we scrape our chins so uncomfortably with rusty knives! Oh, my political economist, master of supply and demand, division of labour and high pressure oh, my loud-speaking friend, tell me, if so much be in you, what is the demand for poets in these kingdoms of Queen Victoria, and what the vouchsafed supply?"

Eight forms of electric lamps using infusible earthy oxides and brought to high incandescence in vacuo by high potential current of several thousand volts; same character as impingement of X-rays on object in bulb. A loud-speaking telephone with quartz cylinder and beam of ultra-violet light. Four forms of arc light with special carbons. A thermostatic motor.
The first of Edison's greater inventions in Menlo Park was the 'loud-speaking telephone. Professor Graham Bell had introduced his magneto-electric telephone, but its effect was feeble.
"Yes; I have an appointment there with a coloured person who is a liar by nature and a cook by trade." Maurice Gordon usually went off like this at a moment's notice. He was one of those loud-speaking, quick-actioned men, who often get a reputation for energy and capacity without fully deserving it. Jack, of a more meditative habit, rarely followed his host with the same obvious haste.
I devised a telephone receiver which was afterward known as the 'loud-speaking telephone, or 'chalk receiver. There was no magnet, simply a diaphragm and a cylinder of compressed chalk about the size of a thimble.
