Abstract
A message playback control system for a telephone answering machine of the type in which a user, in order to recover his messages, by operation of a manually operated local switch, causes the message tape in the machine to rewind to a particular position, and then causes the message tape to move in the forward direction and play back the messages recorded on the tape. The control system of the invention automatically causes the message tape to stop when all the messages have been played back, and then returns the machine to the automatic answer condition ready to answer the next telephone call.
