1911Encycl. Brit. XXVI. 521/2 The Creed system is a development of the Morse-Wheatstone system, and provides a keyboard perforator which punches Morse letters or figures on a paper strip by depressing typewriter keys. The slips are passed through an ordinary Wheatstone transmitter and actuate Wheatstone receiving apparatus which in turn controls a ‘Creed receiving perforator’. This machine reproduces a copy of the original transmitting slip, which can be passed on to any other Wheatstone circuit or can be run through a ‘Creed printer’, which is a pneumatic machine actuating a typewriter by means of valves. 1916T.
