AN AUTOMATIC SECRETARY
A recently-invented machine performs in a way that is positively uncanny a variety of tasks ordinarily accomplished only hy human hands and brains. It will take dictation like a stenographer. It will serve as secretary of a meeting or oliice conference. It will answer the telephone in the absence of the subscriber, report his absence to the caller, and take a message that it will repeat to the subscriber on his return. It will record perfectly a telephone conversation from both ends, no matter how far separated, it. can be used as a dictograph in criminal or other investigation. It can be hooked up to a radio-receiv-er so that it will record automatically stock market; quotations or similar broadcast messages at the proper time. It can be put to any or all of these uses, or to any others that the ingenuity or necessity of the user may warrant without change of mechanism.
