In my rather difficult experiences a diplomat minus good communications, especially radio and telex, equals one tenth of a diplomat.
In the overseas services the non-operation of the telegraph message and manually operated telex services has led to some congestion in the automatic services.
Additional equipment for both the inland and overseas telex services has been on order for some time, but unfortunately all contracts are seriously delayed.
By 3 o'clock this afternoon we had not got the telex.
It feels like conducting a conference call on a network of badly oiled telex machines.
The telex service—that is, the system by which subscribers can exchange printed messages—is flourishing.
Firstly, the same processes favour these forms as favour abbreviation generally: scientific and commercial labelling, computer usage, revamped telex-style names of businesses, and the creation of snappy brand names.
It also provides services which keep the business community in touch with clients—facilities such as telex and data transmission.
