The action of the telautograph depends upon the variations in magnetic strength between two small electro-magnets. It has been seen that an electro-magnet exerts its attractive force in proportion to the current which passes through its coil. To use a phrase entirely non-technical, it will "pull" hard or easy in proportion to the strength of the passing current.
Yet in all modifications the same thing is done in essentially the same way, and the Voltaic pile, and a little back of that Galvani's frog, is the secret of the telegraph, the telephone, the telautograph, the cable message.
If this one movement, considered alone, is understood, all the rest follow by the same means. This is, as nearly as it may be described without the use of technical mechanical terms, the principle of the telautograph.
I have fixed it with them after a special interview this morning. They understand." Again Graeme wrote, feverishly. "I we are entirely free from prosecution of any kind?" he asked eagerly. "Yes," Constance murmured, with just a catch in her throat, as now that the excitement was over, she realized that he was free, independent of her again. The telautograph had stopped. No, it was starting again.
It is the telautograph the long-distance writer. In this new form it can be introduced into the drawer of a desk for the use of any one who may wish to make inquiries, say, of clerks without the knowledge of a caller.
The conspirators seemed dazed. "And now," continued Kennedy, "I see that the pencil of the receiving instrument is writing again. Let us see what it is." We bent over. The writing started: "County of New York. In the name of the People of the State of New York " Kennedy did not wait for us to finish reading. He tore the writing from the telautograph and waved it over his head. "It is a warrant.
"An instrument that was invented many years ago, but has only recently been perfected for practical, every-day use, the telautograph, the long-distance writer," replied Kennedy, as we waited. "You see, with what amounts to an ordinary pencil I have written on the paper of the transmitter.
"What is it?" interrupted Graeme, as the meaning of the words even now began to dawn on him. "A telautograph," she replied simply, "a long distance writer which I have had installed over a leased wire from the hotel room of Wickham to meet the demands of you two. With it you write over wires just as with the telephone you talk over wires.
The lady need not suffer long from inquietude concerning her husband's safe arrival; for the receiving instrument of her telautograph reproduces instantaneously his own handwriting. A parcel, sent to her by express, contains a cylinder to the improved phonograph.
He need not come out of his hiding place and I would agree to let him go where and when he pleased without further pursuit from me, if he would let me install a telautograph in a neutral place which he could select and the other end in this laboratory. I myself do not know where the other place is. Only a mechanic sworn to secrecy knows and neither Murtha nor myself know him.
