Excerpt from The Train Dispatcher: A Manual of Railway Telegraphy
Learnnig telegraphy correctly is not so much in being a fast sender or a fast receiver, one with out the other is not perfection. Therefore when you cannot receive as you should, always make it a point to be listening to the business that goes over the wire. If you take only a fair copy then copy off of the main wire whenever the oppor tunity presents itself. Always listen to train orders when issued and how they are sent, and copy everything that you possibly can from the main line traffic reports.
