Telegraphers Paralysis

[NW Mailing List]

The August, 1925 edition of the N&W magazine has an article called “Telegraph and Telephones on the N&W”. That article  contains a paragraph about “the bug” that saved operators from giving up their work due to telegraphers paralysis. 

What was telegraphers paralysis? And I’d like to know more about the other improvements noted in the paragraph. See attached. There’s nothing quite as curiosity-piquing as reading about contemporary technology - 100 years after the fact!

Thanks
