In telegraph or data transmission systems, that method of communication in which the operator at a station must keep a switch operated in order to send messages. Note 1: Push-to-type operation is used in radio systems where the same frequency is employed for transmission and reception. Note 2: Push-to-type operation is a derivative form of transmission and may be used in simplex, half-duplex, or duplex operation. Synonym press-to-type operation.

In telegraphy systems, keying in which the modulating wave causes the carrier to be modulated with a single tone for the "mark" and modulated with a different single tone for the "yyspace. "

In telegraphy, distortion that (a) is periodic and (b) is not characteristic, not biased, and not fortuitous. Note: Causes of cyclic distortion include irregularities in the duration of contact time of the brushes of a transmitter distributor and interference by disturbing alternating currents.

In telegraphy, one of the two significant conditions of encoding. Note 1: The complementary significant condition is called a "mark. " Note 2: In modern digital communications, the two corresponding significant conditions of encoding are called "zero" and "one. " Synonyms spacing pulse, spacing signal.

In telegraphy, one of the two significant conditions of encoding. Note 1: The complementary significant condition is called a "yyspace. " Note 2: In modern digital communications, the two corresponding significant conditions of encoding are called "1" and "0. " Synonyms marking pulse, marking signal. 2. A symbol or symbols that indicate the beginning or the end of a field, of a word, or of a data item in a file, record, or block.

In telegraphy, the distortion caused by transients that, as a result of previous modulation, are present in the transmission channel. Note: Characteristic distortion effects are not consistent. Their effects on a given signal transition are dependent upon transients remaining from previous signal transitions.

In telegraphy, the source of power that actuates the telegraphic station recording instruments, as distinguished from the source of power that furnishes current to the line. 2. In telephony, a system in which each telephone instrument has its own source of power, as opposed to being powered from the central office. 3. A source of local power for a telephone instrument.
