Abstract
An automatic telephone answering system of the accumulating type is disclosed wherein only newly recorded messages on the message recording tape are remotely reproduced with accuracy. A pulse generator is driven by a reel shaft to generate pulses in proportion to the rotation of the reel shaft. A first counter counts the number of pulses from the pulse generator whenever a message is recorded or reproduced. A second counter counts the number of pulses from the pulse generator when the message tape is rewound in response to a remote control signal. A comparator compares the counts accumulated in the first and second counters to control the rewinding, reproducing and standby modes of the system after a remote control signal is received.
