Title
[D8966ABH2], Letter from Ezra Torrance Gilliland to Charles L Selden, Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co, November 10th, 1885
Editor's Notes
Received yours of the 7th to TAE; for phonoplex TAE proposes a royalty for use on rail lines of $20 per year per complete set; on short line will install at his expense; [breaks down installation costs on different types of lines] "If operator leaves his morse key open he can be called on the Phonoplex--It is exceedingly simple, no adjustment, and when once set up requires no further attention. Don’t confound it with the complicated and troublesome duplex apparatus"; TAE doesn't want to make any arrangement with you presently for commercial lines; TAE is looking to net about $2000, which would require introducing it in more than 100 offices; includes drawings.
