A teleprinter is a machine which resembles a typewriter with a telephone dial. It is capable of
reproducing messages transmitted from a distant teleprinter over telephone lines, thus combining
the speed of a telephone with the authority of the written word. The printed copy of the messages
is produced on teleprinters at both the sending and receiving subscribers’ installations. Calls may
be made to any telex subscriber within the country or abroad.

The service is available day and night and messages may be transmitted to a subscriber even
though his teleprinter is unattended, provided it is switched on. The message is even available
for attention when the operator returns to the machine.
