Inventory Number: 71246

Number of documents: 1

Document Heading: Technical Details

Text: 

The receiver relay signal operates this 'inker' which marks a dot or dash on the paper recording tape, according to the length of the impulse. On the base is a clockwork motor, the key of which can be seen. This motor causes the paper tape to pass under a smooth brass plate which takes the pressure of the inking appliance. This appliance is motivated by impulses from the wireless receiver. This impulse could be long or short according to whether the wireless signal was a dot or dash.
