Abstract
OBSERVING your paragraph on this subject in NATURE, vol. xxiv. p. 88, it occurs to me that the following may be of interest:—When in Wellington and Dunedin, N.Z., at the end of December last, my opinion was asked by the Government Telegraphic officials there upon a pair of ordinary “Edison-Bell Telephones” (not Edison bell-telephones, as they are too frequently called) which they had just received from the United States for purposes of experiment. A careful trial under various conditions showed me that they were very good average instruments of ordinary delicacy, such as I had seen hundreds of previously in England and the States.
