"To err is human. " The Bur- lingame telegraphing type- writer, being entirely mechan- ical at the receiving end and practically so at the sending end will make no mistakes.
A large mercantile concern in New Orleans once wired by the Morse system to their New York correspondent: "Protect our draft. " The message de- livered to the correspondent read: "Protest our draft, " 42 WHAT BURLINGAME DID which of course has a very dif- ferent meaning.
The mistake arose because of the small difference bet
...ween the letter "C" and the letter "S. " In the word "San Francisco" noted before you will observe that the two letters in question are each represented by three dots, only the letter "C" has Mistake a space between the second and third dot.
By the Burlingame system a "C" is always sent and received as a "C. " At least the message is received exactly as it is sent even to the punctuation.
Because of its simplicity and accuracy, requiring no expert 43 WHAT BURLINGAME DID to send a message and no one at all to receive it, several of W hat the foremost electrical engin- °Say rs eers > government signal service officers, expert telegraphers and other men prominent in the business circles of the coast cities, state emphatically that the Burlingame invention will shortly supplant the Morse system everywhere.
