 and the binding-post 315 with the main analytic magnet and with the battery 273. At the synthetic mechanism the binding-post 316 is connected with the spacing magnet, the binding-post 317 with the printing magnet, the binding-post 318 with the paper-shifting magnet, binding-post 319 with the dash magnet, binding-post 320 with the “L” magnet, binding-post 321 with the “O” magnet, binding-post 322 with the main synthetic magnet, and the binding-post 323 with the battery, the binding-post 324 being for the ground connection. The binding-posts 325 and 326 are for making connection with the battery 33. The binding-post 327 of the first translating mechanism 39 is also connected with the battery 33, and the binding-post 328 is connected with the binding-post 329 of the sounder 36. The binding-post 330 of the sounder is connected to ground and the binding-post 331 is connected with the battery 33. 332 is the binding-post for the ground connection of the analytic mechanism.

It should be understood that ll of the various contacts and translating devices at which sparking and fusing are likely to occur, and which are ordinarily protected by suitable platinum or equivalent resistances in the well-known wireless telegraph systems ordinarily used, are similarly protected in the present system, but such resistances are not shown in the drawings.
