sion of energy for any purpose and whatever the medium through which the impulses are conveyed.
What I claim is—
3651. The method of operating distant receivers which consists in producing and transmitting a plurality of kinds or class one of a plurality of circuits tuned to respond to impulses of such kind or 370class and operating or controlling the operation of a receiver by the conjoint action of two or more of said circuits, as set forth.
3752. The method of signaling, which consists in producing and transmitting a plurality of kinds or classes of electrical impulses or disturbances, developing by the impulses of each class a current in one of a plurality of receiving380-circuits tuned to respond exclusively thereto and controlling by means of conjoint action of such circuits a local circuit, as set forth.
3. The method of signaling which consists 385in producing a plurality of series of impulses or disturbances differing from each other in character and order of succession, exciting by the impulses of each series one of a plurality of receiving-circuits tuned to respond 390exclusively thereto and controlling by the conjoint action of such circuits a local circuit, as set forth.
4. The method of signaling which consists in producing a plurality of series of electrical 395impulses of different character, varying the time interval between the emission of such impulses, exciting by the impulses of each series one of a plurality of receiving-circuits tuned to respond exclusively thereto and 400controlling by the conjoint action of such circuits a local circuit, as set forth.
5. The method of transmitting electrical energy for conveying intelligible signals which consists in producing a plurality of electrical 405impulses of different character, developing by the impulses of each kind a current in one of a plurality of receiving-circuits tuned to respond exclusively thereto, controlling the action or effect of the transmitted impulses 410upon the receiving-circuits by varying the character of said impulses, and operating or controlling the operation of a receiver by the conjoint action of two or more of said receiving-circuits, as set forth.
6. The method of transmitting electrical 415energy which consists in producing a plurality of electrical waves or impulses of different periodicities, varying the order of transmission of the waves or impulses forming elements of the signal sent, according to one or420 another receiving-station is to be communicated with where (proper circuit-closing mechanism being provided at each receiving-station) the transmitted signal will be intelligible at and only at the intended receiving425-station.
7. The method of transmitting intelligence, which consists in selecting and associating together in predetermined order of succession two or more electrically-generated impulses430 of different periodicity, forming elements of signals to be sent, and transmitting such selected impulses with reference to the conjoint action of both or all in the production of a signal at a distant point, substantially as set435 forth.
8. In a system of telegraphy, wherein signals or messages are sent by the use of a plurality of electrical impulses of different periodicities and in a predetermined order of succession,440 the method of ascertaining at any particular station the particular signal sent to that station, which consists in the selection, to form a signal, of certain transmitted impulses of different periodicities and of a predetermined445 order of succession to the exclusion of all others, as st forth.
9. The improvement in the art of transmitting electrical energy which consists in operating or controlling a receiving mechanism450 by series or group of electrical impulses of different periodicities and of a predetermined order of succession.
10. In a system for the transmission of electrical energy, for sending signals or messages455 to any one of two or more receiving-stations, the method of transmitting the message with reference to the intelligible receipt thereof transmission of electrical waves or impulses460 of different periodicities in varying order of transmittal by a separate order or grouping of transmittal for each receiving-station.
