Are the days of the shorthand-typist numbered? It would seem so if one may believe the claims made for a machine concerning which a patent has recently been applied for at Berne. This is no-less than a phonetic type-which writes direct from inventor is Mr. Martin Brandli, of Davos, who describes the machine as "a typewriter enabling a person to write by the use of the voice only." Until applications for patents have been entered in all countries, Mr. Brandli is maintaining a certain reserve, which one can well understand, but he has informed a "Daily News" ontative that a person may k - speed of 99 to 100 words a minute, and that as many copies can be obtained as with an ordinary typewriter.
Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
