Definitions

the only purpose of having a telex jargon is to keep telex chatter down to a bare minimum. Chatter is defined as hand transmission of comm. between telex operators. Chatter should only be done in order to expedite the transmission of actual telex messages, which are always sent on tape. Chatter is sometimes valuable to unscramble line snarls-beyond that it should not be used at all. (BPL 5 Nov 72RA-I)
