  Telharmony  \Tel*har"mo*ny\  [?]),  at  a  distant  point  or  points  by 
  means  of  alternating  currents  of  electricity  controlled  by  an 
  operator  who  plays  on  a  keyboard.  The  music  is  produced  by  a 
  receiving  instrument  similar  or  analogous  to  the  telephone, 
  but  not  held  to  the  ear.  The  pitch  corresponds  with  frequency 
  of  alternation  of  current.  Telltale  \Tell"tale`\,  n.

  information;  a  hint  or  indication. 
 
  It  supplies  many  useful  links  and  telltales.

  brakemen  of  their  approach  to  a  low  overhead  bridge.
