A facsimile telegraph for reproducing writing, pictures,
maps, etc. In the transmitter the motions of the pencil are

variations in current are produced in two separate circuits.
In the receiver these variations are utilized by
electromagnetic devices and levers to move a pen as the
pencil moves. -- {Tel`au*tog"ra*phist}, n.
