a form of telegraph in which the receiver prints messages typed on the keyboard (like that of a typewriter) of the transmitter: the striking of the keys produces electrical impulses that cause the corresponding keys on the receiver to register. But most of these offices now are connected by telex or teletypewriter, so that you put a message into a typewriter at one end, and it comes out in the actualHCOoffice at the other end.
