OFFICE MICROPHONE

¢ By uist?ling a microphone and suitable cheap apparatus on his office desk, Henry ©. Mahoney, sales manager of 2 big London firm, claims to have cut down by half the time occupied by his daily correspondence; to have lightened the life of his secretary; and to haye surpassed anything yet done in the oftice speed-up line. The ‘mike? hangs in front of him on his desk. His secretary sits in another room, at some distance away, at her typewriter. With both hands free, Mr, Mahoney can quickly deal with his letters and reference files. When a letter is to be dictated, he presses a button to call the attention of his secretary, and she, donning a pair of headphone 3, can take down the letter without stirring from her chair. That letter having been disposed of as far as she jis concerned, the manager car then get busy on other matters.
