- Editor's Notes
- Replying to your letter of 22nd instant, Mr. Logue informs me that you desire to obtain some automatic attachment which will keep the phone in your office quiet when the office near you is transmitting, the latter being the terminal office of the phonoplex circuit. I do not see how this can be arranged. We could give you an automatic key, which when thrown open would ground the phonoplex circuit and end it in your office, and thus quiet the phone in the regular terminal office of the circuit. This would accomplish half what you desire, but I know of no arrangement by which we could silence the phone in an intermediate office when the terminal office is transmitting. I would send Mr. Logue to equip your circuit on Friday or Saturday next, and would ask you to kindly wire me your wishes, so that I may have the in[unclear] forwarded and telegraph to Mr. Logue, who is in Baltimore at the present moment. Yours truly, AO Tate
