TLDR
In this article, the causes of distortion occurring both externally and internally to the receiver and the effects of such distortion on the operating margins are described and some of the more important considerations involved in establishing distortion tolerance criteria are discussed.
Abstract
Recent practical and theoretical investigations of the effect of signal distortion on the margins of operation of start-stop telegraph receivers have led to the development of improved methods of testing and adjusting receivers, have enabled criteria of distortion tolerance to be set up for subscribers' and monitoring receivers and regenerative repeaters, and have made possible the application of more convenient and accurate standards of telegraph transmission. This paper describes the causes of distortion occurring both externally and internally to the receiver and the effects of such distortion on the operating margins. Methods of determining the internal distortion of a receiver are described and some of the more important considerations involved in establishing distortion tolerance criteria are discussed.

No. 1 ESS ADF: autonomous data scanner and distributor

TL;DR: This paper describes the operation and design features of the data-scanner distributor for the No. 1 ESS ADF, which could handle handshaking, addressing, and message transmission for a large number of duplex data lines at a low cost and with the ability to accommodate all speeds and codes now commonly used in low-speed data machines.
