§ 5. Telegrams (cables) Раздел 5. Телеграммы

Messages transmitted by telegraph are called telegrams if they are sent by means of wire and cables (cablegrams) if they are sent by means of cable (laid underground or on the ocean bottom). Nowadays in Britain, and in most other English-speaking countries, however, the word "cable" is used for any telegrams which are sent out of the country. It is even applicable to wireless communica­tion (to radiograms). Telegrams are usually typed out in capital letters without

any punctuation, the word "stop" may be used if necessary to make the mean­ing clear.

Since telegrams are charged according to the number of words, they must be economically worded, i.e. kept short:

  1. By means of omitting nonessential words such as articles, link words, pro­ nouns as subjects, some prepositions (not "within" or "without") and other auxiliary parts of the sentence. But the message to be sent must not be cut down so far as to make it ambiguous.

  2. By leaving out the Opening Salutation and Complimentary Closing. Such courtesy-words, however, as "thanks (thank you-TU), please (PLS), kindly, appreciate, regards (RGDS) and some others are widely used.

о, относительно как можно скорее переводный вексель, тратта до свидания коносамент

3. By using abbreviations such as: ABT = about

ASAP = as soon as possible B/F = Bill of exchange BIBI = bye-bye

B/L(blading) = Bill of Lading CFM = please confirm

DLRS = dollars

DOZ = dozen

INFO - information

LC = Letter of credit

OK = okay, agree

PLS = please

QOK = question OK, do you agree?

RE (Lat.) = relating to

REF = referring to

RGDS = regards

RPT = repeat TLX = telex YR = your

4. By joining parts of words and whole words: OURLET = our letter, YOUR-LET = your letter, OURTEL = our telegram (telex), YOURTEL = your telegram (telex), RELET = relating (referring) to letter, RECABLE = relat­ing (referring) to cable REPHONE - referring to telephone conversation, REURLET = referring to your letter/REYRLET/ REURTEL = referring to your telegram (telex)/REYRTEL/, PRODOC = project document, PER-DAY = per day, PERTON = per ton, FIVEPERCENT = five per cent (%). To avoid mistakes numbers in cables are written in words, and certain num­bers e.g. double figures (cardinal and ordinal) from twenty one (twenty first) and on — twentyone, thirtyfirst, fortyfive — are written in one word. Num­bers "one hundred (thousand), etc." are written in one word as well: nine-hundred, seventhousand, fivethousand and fiftyfive (- 5 055). e.g. "REYRTEL TENTH MAY QUOTING LOWEST TWOHUNDRED PERUNIT INCLUDING FIVEPERCENT TRADE DISCOUNT RGDS"
