Title
[D8546ZDG], Letter from Alfred Ord Tate to Thomas Alva Edison, December 17th, 1885
Editor's Notes
Wired you this p.m. that the line was working to Belleville; loudness is sufficient, but not as loud as morse sounders; Dwight wants to know if phone can be louder; next station below Belleville is Kingston, 55 more miles; to save time and get system in continuous use will go tonight to Prescott, which is about 225? miles from Toronto. If this is too far, will work back to Kingston. If line works to Prescott, will go to Ottawa to determine the capacity of the system as quickly as possible; send what is needed to complete the line. "I am greatly delighted with the results attained by use of the new instrument after the rather discouraging work in connection with the motograph." New reciever helps to identify an source of induction.
