Furthermore, I aim to provide u'eelcctive telegraph system or apparatus whereby the key board of n Linotype or other machine may be ozcrnted from a remote or distant point, on which will be eiiicient and relinlolc in use, com uratively' easy to install end mnintpin an capable of application to any type of mnchine or apparatus employ- M ing a, key board or the like without changing the construction of the machine.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of ports here- -inofiter set forth in and falling within the scope or the i key beer of n linotype mzwhine or ot erdrawin In the accompanying drevvings; Figure 1 we diegremmntic v ew of my system.

In the practice of my invention, a ribbon or tnpe is erforeted in such manner es to facilitate t e transmission of plus or )OSltive and minus or negative impulses rom the transmitter or sender of the system to the receiving a peretus thereof, in the opplicction of sue to e to the send r so that the key board may operated by the actucting mechanisms in accordance with the impulses re resented by the perforations in the tape. hould it be desired to operate it key it n the key board of a linotype mechine nring a capital letter, the tepc hos perforations therein, in odvance of those reprmenting such capitol letter, whereby the mneter or key selector of my system is oper utcd to ermit the operetion of the ectuutno ingg men enism controlling the key of such capitol letter. fiimilerly, should it be de sired to o erete n key upon the key board beering n gure or other chumcter, the tape lies perioretions therein, in edvence or those so re; resenting such figure or other character e iereby the master or key selector is opereted to ermit the operation of the actuating mechanism controlling the key of such chnrncter. On the other hund, should one or more keys of ca ital letters or figures be 0 erated and the ollowing impulses u )on t e tape represent small letters, the tape litS perforations therein, in advance of those re resenting such small letter or letters, w iereby the master or key selector is operntcd to permit the operation of the actuatin mechanism controlling each small letter, this condition of the master or key selector being the normel.

Referring now to the accompanying in detail, S reircsents the sending station which may be located at any distance from the receiving apparatus R. in the present instnnce a tape 13 having perforntions therein edjucent to one side edge repreeenting poeitive or pins impulses, and periorntions edjecent to the opposite sideed e representing min r or negative impu es and a control row of perforations to acilitate feeding of the tape, is mounted upon a conducting; roller 67 which is l ii) I grounded at 68- c rcuit of the sending site side of theycircuit the roller through the tivo rows of'perfol rotions in the strip, such perforations representing the lettersisfigures and other chori ncters and symbo to be transmitted.

Inasmuch as the operation of n receiving apparatus of this type is readily uh'dcrstood by those sltilledi in the ert, it. is thought thst s deteil descript on of the some is unneccsssry. However, it may be here stated that the receiving apparatus ieehown as including four successive series of selecting magnets indi' outed at 76, 76, 77 and 78, and a final set of actuating devices or ma etc 79, the lot- 14:! being in the form of circuit closers and um actuutcdselectively through the medium of the electric current impulses hrough the selecting magnets.

In -sccordence with my present invention, like he s of all banks are controlled by a group 0 actuating mechanisms, eachgroup being under the control or one-of certnin of? the sctucting devices in the series 7 9. In the present instencc, a distributor is interposed between each nctuuting device end the-respective group of sctuoting mcchsnisms end lending into such distributor ore e 'psir oft conductors controlled b thercspectivc actuating device or circuit c oser, while from each distributor lend sets of conductors, esch conductorof eschset including in series on sctueting mechanism for the respective lacy on the hey board, and a selector common to the verions grou s of actustin mechanisms end ernb e to facilitate the monipuletion of riouskeys on the key board. For the pinvose of illustration, we will assume than; otters A, a and the ii. ure 1 are like sees in. the various banks. the octnsting meshenisms controllin these several keys constitute a group on are controlled from s. sinle distributer and the respective actuating; evicc or circuit closer, but the circuit oi.

only one of such actuating mechanisms is closed, according to the impulses preceding those representing the Ohnrnctcrs. In other words, i the key on s linotype machine rcpresentmg A is to be lsctuetcd, the pcr'ioretions on the tape preceding those representing the A nndindicstin' that the follow ing letter is a cepitnl, will cause the transmiesion of impulses to an actuating device, which latter controls at local circuit having control of a movable element of the key solector, and thereby cause the actuation of the lie selector to close the circuit of the indivi unl ectusting mechanism for the 1! bearing the A upon the linotvpe machi Likewise, if it is desired to depress a key upon the linotype tnechine bearing a figure. the perforations in the tops preceding those representing such figure will cause, the operstion of the he selector to close the circuit to the actuating mechanism of the key Jn the linotype tnschine' bearing the proper scvendjntrihuters are shown and connected through the respective distributor.

up to an equal number of actuating magnets, thirty-two of these latter magnets being illustrated. Certain of the remaining magnets of the actuating series control the key selector, three of such remaining magnets being employed in this case, while the remaining two magnets of the actuating series control the space bar on the linotype machine and a mechanism for actuating the matrices of the linotype machine to print in italics. This last named mechanism and its connection with the respective actuating magnet is not illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings, the connections of only two of the distributors are shown and these are illustrated at the left of Fig. 1. The key board of the linotype machine is indicated at K and, as aforesaid, is segregated into three banks or sets of keys embracing capital letters, small letters, and figures and characters respectively. The actuating mechanisms for the keys are mounted upon a suitable platform or base P disposed in proximity to the key board, and each mechanism, in the present instance, comprises a standard 82 disposed adjacent to the respective key and carrying at its free end a bracket 83 to which is pivotally connected an angular arm or finger 84 designed to actuate the respective key on the key board and preferably composed of a plurality of telescopic sections so that wear and lost motion may be taken up. Ad'ustably mounted upon the standard 82 0 each actuating mechanism is an electromagnet 85, while mounted upon each arm 84 within'the influence of the respective magnet 85 is an armature 86, which, when the respective magnet is energized, is attracted by such magnet with the effect to depress the arm or finger and consequently operate the key upon the key board of the machine, a spring 87 of some suitable form being interposed between each arm 84 and the respective bracket and acting to return the arm to normal position upon the deenergization of the magnet. The bracket 83 of each actuating mechanism is also provided with a number of's'et screws 88, 88 designed to engage the extremity of the arm or finger within the bracket and adapted to be operated to regulate thethrow of such arm.

Connected to binding posts 89, 89 in each distributer are the terminals of the conductors 81, while the binding posts in each distributer are in turn connected with bus bars 90, 91 respectively. Connected in multi le or parallel with the bus bar in each istributer are conductors 92, 93 and 94 each including in series one of the magnets 85 of the group of actuating mechanisms controllid T e conductors 92, 93 and 94 of each group are multiplied to common conductors 92, 93'

appear.

and 94 terminatin in the master or ke selector, while multiplied to the bus bar 91 of each distributor are conductors 95, 96' and 97 each terminating in a common conductor 98, 99 and 100, respectively. The lastmentioned conductors terminate in contacts 95, 97 and 96 respectively of the master or key selector and areadapted to form continuations of the conductors 92', 93 and 94' respectively, as will more fully hereinafter This key selecting device, in the present embodiment of my invention, includes a pair of actuating magnets 98 and 99 within the influence of which are disposed armatures 100, 100 carried by levers 101 and. 102, and release magnets 103 and 104. The contacts 97 and 95 are carried by a standard 105 and are located one above the other.

The levers 101 and 102 are constructed of tively and adapted to engage the contacts 97 and 95 respectively, according to the movement of the lever. Upon the energization of the magnet 98, the lever 101 is actuated to engage the contact 95 and is locked in engagement with such contact by means of a latching device consisting of an arm 108 provided with a hooked terminal 109 adapted to be engaged by a hook 110 pivotally mounted upon a. bracket 111 and spring actuated in one direction by a coiled contractile spring 112 connected at one extremity to the hook 110 and at its opposite extremity to an arm 113 carried by the bracket 111. Thus, in the movement of the lever 101 under the action of the magnet 98, the hooked terminal 109 of the arm 108 will engage the hook 110 and actuate the same against the tension of the spring 112, the spring returning the hook 110 to lt-s normal .position immediately succeeding the passing of the hooked terminal 109 beyond the bill of the hook 110, thereby locking the contacts 107 and 95 in engagement with each other and bridging the conductors 92 and 98'. The lever 102 is equipped with a contact 114'fastened to the terminal of the condoctor 94 and adapted to engage the contact 96 upon the energization of the magnet 99 and this lever 102 is also equipped with a latching devicev similar to that heretofore de:

bifurcated extremity 115 between the arms.

of which is disposed the adjacent extremity of the lever 102 so that in the operation of the dust-named lever to engage the contacts 114 and 96, the lever 101 will be'operatedto up i disengage the contacts 106 from the contact 97, the purpose of this construction being to prevent the electrical connection of pairs of cooperating contacts simultaneously. The yoke end of the lever 1.01 is constructed in such manner that the movement of the lever vgized with the effect to withdraw the hooks or actuating devices 79.

110 from engagement with the hooked terminals of the arms 108, thereby permitting the springs 118 to restore the levers to their normal positions. 103 and 104 may be combined into a single magnet with oppositely disposed poles, as

illustrated diagrammatically in Fig; 1. It

is conceivable, however, that the structure of the selector just described. may be changed or varied and such is contemplated in the practice of my invention. The magnet 98 is located in a circuit 119 including a suitable source of energy and controlled by one of the actuating magnets 79, while the magnet 99 is located in a circuit 120 including a suitable source of energy and also controlled "by one of the magnets 79. Likewise, the release magnets are arranged in a circuit 121 having a suitable source of energy therein and controlled by one of the circuit closers A key actuating device 122 similar in construction to the actuating mechanisms hereinbefore described has its actuating magnet 123 connected to one of the actuating magnets 79 for the purpose of operating the space bar of the linotype machine.

An independent circuit comprising conductors 124 and a source of energy such as a battery 125, has arranged therein a magnet 126 designed to shift the line of matrices after such line has been completed by the operation ofthe keyboard. This independent circuit, is normally open as at 127 and is closed in any suitable manner, as, for instance, by the tapper of the signal bell, after the last matrix has been deposited in the line, the closing of such circuit causing the actuation of the line shifter for the well known purpose. A circuit 127 is also terminally connected to one of the actuating mag nets 79 and if desired may be connected up to suitable mechanism to throw the line of matrices, or certain of the matrices in the line, to a relatively angular position for the purpose of writing in italics.

If desired, the magnets.

'cuit closer of the series 79 to the left of 3 has been selected and energized for the purpose of causing the operation of the actu-..

ating mechanism controllin the key on the linotype machine bearing Thus, it will be seen that the bus bars 90, 91 of the respective distributer are brid with the effect to close the circuits mu tiplied to such bars, each of these circuits including the conductors 92 and 95, 93 and 96' and 94 and 97', respectively, the conductors 92, 93 and 94 forming one side of such circuits being multiplied to the common conductors 92, 93 and 94 respectively, while the remainin conductors forming the opposite sides 0 the circuits, are multiplied to the respective conductors 98', 99 and 100', these last named common conductors including suitable sources of electrical ener Pre ceding the energization of the said actuating magnet or circuit closer, the actuating magnet controlling the circuit 119 of the magnet 98 has been energized, owing to the perforations formed in the tape in advance of those representing the capital letter, whereby the lever 101 is operated to disengage the contacts 106 and 97 and engage the contacts 107 and 95, consequently bridging the common conductors 92 and 98 whereby the circuit through the conductors 92,95 and 81 and the respective actuating mechanism is closed, while the remaining circuits and actuating mechanisms'of this particular group remain open. and inactive respectively. Thus, the key bearing the A upon the key board of the linotype machine is depressed. In event that a small letter such as a, for instance, should follow the capital letter, a circuit would be closed by one of the actuating m'afnets of the series 7 9 to the magnets 103 an 104 to release the latching devices, thereby permitting. the lever 101 to assume its normal position and engage the contact 106 with the contact-97, the impulses sent into the actuating magnet, at this time, being due to the perforations formed in the tape t. When the contacts 106 and 97 are in engagement, the circuit including the conductors 93 and 96" wired to the respective common conductors 93 and 99, is closed so that the magnet 85 of the actuating mechanism controlling the key on the linotype machine bearing the small letter is energized with'the effect to place such actuating mechanism in operation, the remaining actuating mechanisms of this group remaining inactive, as previously set forth. On the other hand, should. it be desired to actuate a key upon the key board of the linotype machine bearing a character or figure such as the numeral 1, the perforations in the tape preceding those representing such figure or character will cause the sending of impulses through the selecting magnets to energize the particular actuating magnet of the series 79 whereby the circuit 120 in which the magnet 99 is located, will be closed. The energized magnet 99 attracts the lever 102 thereby making contact at 114 and 96 and breaking contact between the contacts 96 and 107, with the eflect to close the circuit including the conductor 94, common conductor 94;, contacts 114 and 96, common conductor 100, conductor 97 the respective bus ban, the conductors 81, thence to the conductor 94 by Way of the remaining bus bar, so that the following impulses may cause the operation of the actuating mechanism for'the key bearing the particular figure, such impulses energizing the circuit closer or actuating device of the series 7 9 controlling the group of actuating mechanisms in which the particular one to be operated is located. In the present instance, the letters A, a and the numeral 1 are controlled from the distributer 80 at the left of the top row in Fig. 1, and the letters B, b and the numeral 2 controlled from the distributer at the left in the bottom row of said figures. Thus, it will be seen that a letter and figure or character in each bank of keys, or three characters upon the key board are controlledfrom a single actuating device by way of the respective distributer, the operation of the actuating mechanisms for the keys hearing such characters being dependent upon the impulses preceding those which represent the character to be printed. It will be noted that each circuit, including the conductors 81, bus bars 90,91 and the conductors multiplied to sum bus bars, of each group is connected in multiple or parallel with the respective common conductors terminating in the keyselector so that subsequent to the operation of the key selector to the desired position, any circuit of any group may be closed to energize the respective actuating mechanism, independently of the remaining actuating mechanisms of the particular group and the other groups.

While I have herein shown and described one particular form of my invention and arrangement of thevarious mechanisms of my system, by way of illustration, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the details of construction and arrangement of the parts herein described and delineated, but that modification and variation may be made within the scope of the claims and Without departing from the spirit of the invention.
