It will be understood pinging upon the diaphragm V will set the that the coils d d d2 are connected with each diaphragm V into vibration, and if the same other in series, although such connection is is made of magnetic material the approach to not indicated in the drawings. The same is and the recession from the end of magnet a of 4o true of the coils g g' g2. rEhe coils so consaid diaphragm will cause the series of mag- 9o nected are separated from each other by innets to participate in the movements of said sulating-rings c c. XVithin the inner series of diaphragm by reason of the magnetic attraccoils are arranged three sectional magnets, a tion between the same. At the same time the a a2, which are tubular and split longitudiedge of diaphragm V, acting through pins w nally, also separated from eachother by insuupon carbon ring y, will cause a correspond- 95 lating material, b b2. These magnets are coning -vihratory motion of the microphonic elenected with the interior of the coils d d d by ments, and any current which at the time may light exible structures, such as springs r, by pass through said microphone will be varied which they are held centrally,within said accordingly.

5o coils, but are allowed a lengthwise motion Two trunnions, M', secured to shell 7c, suproo port the whole instrument in bearingsprovided in one end of lever Z. Each lever is itself pivoted upon a standard, s, and is provided With a heavy knob, Z2, for reversing the instrument, as Will be presently explained.

To the face of each mouth-piece is secured an iron ring, q q', constructed to lit the end of an electro-magnet, x x', the coil of which, x', is in a signaling-circuit. ,Normally the receiving end of the telephone faces the end of magnet x', and if it is desired to communicate with a distant station the pressure of the hand upon knob Z2 will Withdraw said end of the instrument from the magnet, reversing the former and generating a momentary current in the coil of the electro-magnet, whereby a distant signaling apparatus is operated.

The speaking-circuits are as follows: In the left-hand side instrumentin Fig. 3 diaphragm V is connected with trunnion i', and with the ground by Wiresf. One end of the series of coils g g g? is connected lwith carbon ring y by Wire f 2, the other end of said series of coils being connected to trunnion z', and with the line by Wiresf4f5. Carbon ring g/ is also connected with one terminal of coils d d d2 by wiref, the other terminal of said coils being connected with trunnion z', and thereby to ground by Wire u. In the right-hand side instrument in Fig. 3 diaphragm V is connected with trunnion z' by wiref, and with the line by wire f5. Ring y is connected with one terminal of coils d d d'2 by Wiref, the other terminal being connected with trunnion i and ground by lWires fi. Said ring y is also connected with one terminal of coils g gg2 by Wire fl, the other terminal being connected by Wire u' with trunnion d, and thereby to the line.

The operation of the instrument will now be apparent. It will be seen that on the lefthand side coils d d' d2 are in the local circuit vwith the microphone and diaphragms, While coils y g g2 are in the line-circuit, Which also includes the microphone. On the right-hand side coils g g' gL are in a local circuit, including the microphone, While coils d d d2 are in the line-circuit, which also includes the microphone. Speaking against the transmitter end of any one of the instruments, the vibrations of the coils thereby induced will generate currents both in the local and in the line circuit. These currents will react upon each other, and will be modified by the microphone in accordance with the vibrations ofthe diaphragms. Thus modified, the current will reach the distant station, pass through one series of coils, and vary the magnetism of the cores of the instrument at that station, which in turn Will react upon the receivingdia` phragm.

We claim as our invention and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. A combined*magneto-telephone and microphone, consisting, essentially, of iiexible suspended magnets having endwise motion, a

receiving-diaphragm operated thereby, and a' transmittingdiaphragm operating the same,

in combination with a microphone operated by the transmitting-diaphragm, substantially as described.

2. A combined magneto-telephone and miin the line-circuit of the other coil of the inductorium, substantially as described.

3. A combined transmitter and receiver telephone, provided with ring-armatures at either end and reversibly mounted upon trunnions, an electro-magnet arranged in the line with said telephone and in inductive proximity to said armatures, and a singnalingcircuit including the coils of said magnet, substantiallys described.
