HC Deb 18 November 1930 vol 245 c255W
Mr. DAY

asked the Postmaster-General whether he has received any recent reports from abroad with reference to the workings of the telautograph apparatus in which signatures of the senders of telegrams can be telegraphed; whether any demonstrations of this apparatus have taken place in London; whether, as a result, it is proposed to introduce it into the telegraph service; and will he give the House particulars?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

The Post Office is keeping in close touch with all systems of facsimile reproduction by telegraph; and a public service of picture and facsimile telegraphy is now in operation between London, Berlin, Frankfort, Copenhagen, Vienna, Munich and Stockholm.
