DEFINITION

Classification: 379/71

Consecutive use of recorded phrases or words to form message:

(under subclass 70) Subject matter selectively supplying phrases or words in real time sequence to develop a complete announcement for transmission through the telephone system.

(1) Note. Typical of systems herein are time announcing systems in which different words are reproduced in a desired order so that the time is verbalized. For example: "The time is" -- "twelve" -- "fifty" -- "four", in which each quoted phrase has been reproduced from the storage medium.

(2) Note. Time announcing systems not limited to a telephone system are classified in Class 369, subclass 23.
