I To be Tested on American Bat
GIVEN A THROUGH TEST
TELEGRAPH TYPEWRITER TO BE
1KBTAIARD FOR INTERCOM
MUNICATION ON NEBRASKA.
IT IH EXPECTED TO AVOID ANY
CONFUSION.
'?New York. 8eyt. 25,?The Ameri
can Telegraph Typewriter Company,
received an order yesterday to equip
the battleeh lp Nebraska of Che Nortli
Atlantis fleet with a complete tele
graph typewriter system. The Ne
braska, which Is now engaged jn tar
get practloe with her a la tor ship's off
Hampton Roads, has been ordered
by wireless to put into Hampton
Roads immediately to receive the
equipment.
"Tho navy department Intends to
give the telegraph typewriter system
a thorough test to determine Its ef
ficiency as a method or communicat
ing range and target observation*
snd Are control orders in time of
battle to all parts of the ship- A
naval officer explained yesterday
that the government had been dis
satisfied for a long time with the
present system of distributing infor
mation and orders on battleships
by telephone.
Under the present system the
forcoe in the fighting top make their
observations of the range and apeed
of the enemy or target and transmit
them to the captain of the ship, who
is in some protected spot, by tele
phone. He in turn transmits this
information and his orders to eacn
of the ships balteyriea by telephone.
Code number? are extensively us
ed. and in the stress of target prac
tice and battle these code cumbers
become cbnfused.
The amount of time taken in trans
mission kas also been a source of an
noyance and inefficiency. The ordin
ary telegraph has been tri9d. but th?
scarcity of operators who will enlist
and the absolute necessity of having
ali of the men la the lighting top able
to uso the Morse system la ci^e the
regular operators are injured or kill
ed In battle has made the NaVy De
partnjfent discard this system in spite
of Its greater accuracy.
The promoters of the telegraph
typewriter system have represented
to the Navy Department that with
their system not only will a great
amounut of time be saved, but all
inaccuracy will be eliminated. The
6U9 win make It possible, they
soy, for the observations of tbg mK3
in the fighting top to be transmitted I
simultaneously with one operation
from the observer not only to the
captain, but. to the ^rews of each I
one of the big guns and ail the min
or batteries. This will save a second
transmission as under the telegrafrti
system. The telegrsph typewriter
will place the results of the obser
vations In black and white right un
der the scrutiny of the gun captains
exactly as transmitted, snd the
greater accuracy of gun fire will re
sult, the promoters of the new sys
tem say.
Elements to be considered of
course, said the naval officer who
made public the Information. Is
whether it can be operated speedily
enough to. compete with the tele
phone system all considerations will
be weighed before the system Is fin
ally adopted by tho Navy Depsrtment
for all American warships. The sys
tem (75 be Installed on the Nebraska [
is Identical wltfc that soon to be in
stalled by a newsbureau 1 nthe of-1
flees of the various newspapers which |
are subscribers to Its service.
