In telephone substation 2, a transmitter 52 and a receiver 4i are in series with contacts of hook switch 453 and contacts 32 of relay I5 to provide a telephone bridge upon line wires I l and i when the hook switch is operated into its upward position. A telephone ringer 45 and series condenser 46 are connected from ground through contact 33 and contact 32 to line wire 44.
At the central ofiice, an equipment 3 for receiving a telephone call originating at substation 2 comprises a non-numerical automatic line switch comprising a set of brushes 59 and a plurality of sets of bank contacts 55, the brushes being driven by a motor magnet 52 in cooperation with a line relay 53 and a cut-off relay 5d, the relays 53 and 54 having a mechanical interlocking device which permits the cut-off relay to break all back contacts without closing any front contacts if the line relay is found deenergized at the time that the cut-off relay becomes energized, but should the line relay be found energized at the time that the cut-off relay becomes energized, the cut-oif relay will move its armature a full stroke. The operation of this nonnumerical switch and the relays mentioned is described in Automatic Telephony by Smith and Campbell, 2nd edition, 1921, pages 51 and 52.
The bank contacts 5| are connected to jack 6!], line relay BI and local relay 62, the line relay BI having contacts connected to battery and to signal lamp 63, and local relay 62 having contacts connected to ground and to private wire 64. A manual telephone operator, in response to illumination of lamp 63, may connect with jack 60 by means of plug 65, thereby cutting off relays 6! and 62 and connecting the line wires II and 44 to apparatus not shown, but by which telephone service may be given to the substation 2 in response to an originating call.
To the standard equipment of the non-numerical switch just described there are added relays l8 and H, the relay 70 having its front contacts connected to shunt corresponding back contacts in. relay 54 so that circuits may be preserved when both relays 54 and IE3 are energized, and reiay I! having its winding differentially connected so that it is not energized in response to loop circuit upon line wires II and 44 but is responsive to a grounded circuit over line wire ii whereby current flows over line wire II without corresponding current flowing over line wire 44.
A line switch equipment forming a part of the telegraphic switching equipment I comprises a non-numerical switch such as is shown in the equipment 3, with the exception that only one brush and contact is used in the communication circuit. Communication brush I2 and private brush I3 are driven by motor magnet 14 in cooperation with line relay l5 and cut-off relay 16 which have interlocking features corresponding to relays 53 and 54. Bank contacts and 8| are connected to contacts of connector relay 82, local relay 83 and release relay 84. A telegraphic recorder which may be a printer or a reperforator or both is provided and is indicated by its selector magnet 85 and details are shown further by a set of permutation bars 86, a selector pull bar 87, a power bail 89, and a pair of contacts 8B operable by the pull bar 81 and operating to close a circuit to energize the release relay 84.
The operation of the system in response to calls originating at the substation is as follows.
For telephone service: The user of the telephone set 2 may take control of the line wires II and 44 by lifting the receiver 4|, thereby operating hook switch 43 which at once disables the telegraphic substation I by opening the contact 33, thereby removing from the telegraphic substation I the ground connection which is required to enable the substation I to initiate control of any central office apparatus. Neither can the operator at the telegraphic apparatus I control the relay l5 to open contact 32 to interfere with the telephone circuits about to be described, so that by closing hook switch 43 when the substation equipment I is inert, the telephone station 2 has seized the line wires II and 44 and has removed any possibility of interruption from the telegraphic equipment connected thereto at the substation. The closing of the hook switch 43 has closed and electrified a circuit beginning at the central ofiice through battery, line relay 53, contacts and lower winding of relay II, contacts of relay 54, line wire 44, contacts 32, hook tacts 51 and operates relay 54 fully, which trans-.
switch 43, receiver 4|, transmitter 40, line wire II, contacts of relay 54, upper Winding and contacts of relay II toground. Relay H is not ener'gized because" of its differential nature. Relay 53 is energized andthe resultant operation of the non-numerical switch connects brushes 5!! to-confers the line circuit described from relay 53- to relay 6|, energizingrelay BI which in turn energizes relay 62 overan obvious circuit. Relay 62 connects ground to private wire. 84 thus forming a holding circuit for relay 54,- and relay 8I illuminates lamp 63 overan obvious circuit. The
manualoperator responds by inserting plug 65 in jack 60 thereby completing another holding circuit for relay 54 to ground connectionupon the plug 55. Contacts of jack 60 open the circuit of used for telephonic communication byoperating V the manual key It whose latchZO-retains the contacts of the .key in operated position. A telegraph calling circuit is formed beginning at central office battery, through winding; of relay 53, contacts and lower winding of relay II, contacts of relay 54, line wire 44, third and fourth contacts f of operated key l9, hook switch contact 33 and ground. Current now flows through but one winding of relay II and energization is effected in relay II and relay 53 but the operation of relay II disconnects the relay 53 and substitutes a circuitfrom battery over wire 89'and thencethrough the lower winding of relay 1|. Contacts of relay II also: open the upper winding-of relay 1| and atfurther contact of relay II' closes a circuit to energize relay I5. The, circuit of relay I5: extends from battery, through contacts of relay I6, contacts of relay I I, contacts of deenergized relay 54, line wire II, selector magnet'IZ, contacts of energizedrelay I8, resistor 25, winding of relay I5, lowest two contacts of key I9, winding of.magnet 2|, and contact 33 to ground. The polar direction of the current is such that it is ineffective upon polar magnet 2|. By. reason of resistor 25, the volume of current is too small to be eifective upon selector l2. Relay I5 at the substation and relay 'I-5 at the centraloffice are operated. In response to relay 15, the non-numerical switch connects brush 12 to contact and brush I3 to contact BI. Operationof relay I5 opens contacts 32 whichdisables the telephone set 2, closes contact 3 I, which substitutes a ground connection for the: ground connection of contact 33, closes contacts 29 which start. the motor 14 into operation,and closes contact 28 which shunts the connection between fifth and sixth contacts of operated key I9 to maintain a-communication circuit after release and restoration of key I9; Operation of the non-numerical switch of equipment I energizes relay 16- to openits back contacts and transfers the circuit from winding: of relay I5 to the winding of connector relay 82, the
new circuit extending from, battery through contact of deenergized relay84, winding of relay- 82,-
contact of relay 8 2, bank contact '88, brush 12,
for relaylfi, and at the same time connects ground tothe windingof relay 82 to form a holding circuit for relay 82. The armature contacts of relay 82 remove the winding of relay 82 from the circuit of the line wire II and from the definitive central oflice' communication circuit as follows: frombattery 80, through winding of receiver selector magnet 85, contacts of operated relay 82,'bank contact 88, brush 12,'contacts of relay I6, line wire II, selector magnet I2 of home recorder or station I, contacts of energized relay I8, resistor 25,resist or 21, contacts 28 of energized jrelay I5, windingof polarized magnet 2|,
and contacts 3| ofenergized relay l5 to ground. All batteries which have been considered heretofore as supplying current to line wire I I have been of uniform polarity and of such polarity that polarized magnet 2| has not attracted its armature in response to any current, but battery 98 is of reversed polarity, to which polarized magnet 2| responds, attracting its armature 28, releasing key I9 anddeenergizing relay I8 which opens its contacts toremove the shunt from the contacts of transmitter I3; Motor I4 has attained full speed and closes its centrifugal contacts, thus shunting resistor 25- and reducing the resistance of the communication circuit to produce'in cooperation with battery 98 ajproper volume of operating current in the communication circuit. Theoper'ator at-station I, noticing the releaseof his starting key I9, then may operate his transmitter I3 to record upon the selector indicated by magnet 85at the central oflice the message which he desires to transmit.
During the interval of use of the line wire II for telegraphic service, the-telephone substation is disabled by thecontact 32 and the telephone central oflice equipmentis disabled by a busy-bytest condition placed upon private wire 9| at first by the middle contact of relay I5, later by the lower contact of relay 83, effecting operation to median position of thearmatures of relay 54. Wire 9| extends to test contacts of equipments 9 and III to prevent access to the line by telegraph operators, extends to the test conductors of equipments 5 and 6 to prevent accessto the line by" telephone operators, and thus guards the line at the central ofiice to secure to the operator at station I the exclusive use of the line for telegraphic purposes on his originating message.
Having completed transmission of a message, 7
the'operator at station I transmits a predetermined signal such as fblank code in response to which-the code bars 86 permit the pull bar 81 to operate and-to be operated to closethe elec trical contact 88 which energizes release relay "84 over an obvious circuit, the relay 82 being energized at all times throughout the communication period. Relay 84 opens the circuit of the ,winding of relay 82 and deenergizes relay 82,
retains relay I8 fully operated and relay 54 par-' tially operated, and the open condition of the circuit of linewire II is continued for a periodof time: sufficientto effect the release of the slowto-release relay l5 at substation I, which opens the circuit of the motor and restores all of the apparatus of substation I to its normal inert-condition, The final act of the cycleis the release of the armatures of relay 84, which removes busyby-test condition from line wire 9|, deenergizes relays 54 and I6, and restores battery connection to the winding of relay 82 and thus to bank contact 80, which restores all central ofiice apparatus to normal inert conditions.
Outward service For telephone service: Telephone service in which the central office calls the telephone substation 2 is efiected by inserting the manual plug I00 into the manual jack IIII and ringing with the manual key I02. The insertion of the plug in the jack places ground upon private wire 9| and operates cut-off relays 54 and I6 to middle position of their armatures, thus preventing the operation of equipments 3 and I. It also places the busy-by-test ground condition upon all manual jacks and automatic switches through which the line wires II and 44 might be taken for service. Ringing current from alternating generator I93 through key I92, plug I00, and jack IIJI passes over line wire 44 and through contact 32, ringer 45, condenser 46 and contact 33 to ground. During the period from the time of seizing the line by inserting plug I09 in jack IIII to the time of response of the attendant at telephone station 2, the attendant at telephone station I may operate the key I9 to initiate a telegraph message, but there will be no response by the telegraph switching equipment I since cut-01f relay T6 is operated, and the attendant at telegraph station I will be unable to proceed with the transmission of a telegraph message because the relay I5 will not be energized and the motor I4 will not start into operation. Since the relay I5 cannot be energized, its contact 32 cannot be opened and the telegraph substation I cannot interfere with the response of the telephone substation 2. Telephone operators situated remotely from jack IIJI may obtain communication with telephone set 2 through automatic connector switch 6, see Smith and Campbell's book, Fig. 60.
For telegraph service: There is provided at the central ofiice a manual jack I I 0 connected to the line wire II and to the private wire 9|, and a manual switching plug III having an individual ringing relay H2 and an individual ringing condenser I I 3 through which it is associated with a common alternating current ringing generator II4, having also a receiver recorder indicated by the selector magnet H5 and individual transmitter I I6 and an individual key I IT by which the plug may be associated with a common testing telephone II8.
In operation when it is desired to send a telegraph message to substation I, the manual operator inserts plug III in jack III] and thus sets up a combined ringing circuit and battery response circuit as follows: from ground through ringing generator II 4 and condenser II3, contacts of relay II2, key In, plug III, jack IIO, line wire II, selector magnet I2, condenser I6, relay II, fifth and fourth contacts of key I9, and hook switch contact 33 to ground. Relay I1 responds and closes its contacts which permit battery current to flow through the battery response circuit, from reversed battery I20, through transmitter I I6, selector magnet I I5, upper winding of relay II2, choke coil I2I, key II'I, plug III, jack IIil, line wire II, selector magnet I2, transmitter I3, resistor 25, winding of relay I5, contact of relay I'I, fifth and fourth contacts of key I9, hook switch contact 39 to ground. This current energizes relay I5 which closes its contacts 28 to shunt the contacts of relay I'I, its contacts 29 to start motor I4 into operation, its contacts 3| to substitute ground for the ground of hook switch contact 33, and opens its contacts 32 to disable the telephone set. Motor I4 attains operating speed and closes its centrifugal switch 24 which shunts the resistor 25 and in creases the current in the circuit last traced to a volume which energizes relay II2 to operate and to form the definitive transmission circuit as follows: reversed battery I20, transmitter IIG, selector magnet II5, contact of energized relay II2, key II'I, plug III, jack III], line wire II, selector magnet I2, transmitter I3, switch 24, resistor 21, contact 28 of relay I5, fifth and fourth contacts of key I9, contact 3| of relay I5 and ground.
The central oifice operator then transmits the desired message by means of transmitter II 6 and record is made at substation receiver I2. The central office operator is unable to transmit until substation motor I4 has attained operating speed, thereby increasing the current in the communication circuit to operate relay I I2. By the insertion of plug III in jack III], the ground upon the plug placed a busy-by-test condition upon private wire 9|, operating both relays 54 and it to armature mid-position, and guarding the line against intrusion by any central office apparatus of either telephone or telegraph nature.
Also, by the insertion of plug III in jack IIEI and the operation to mid-position of relays 54 and it, the response of central office switching apparatus to telephone hook switch 43 was rendered impossible and the instantaneous response of relays IT and then I5 had opened contact 32 to disable the telephone set at once.
Automatic switching for outward service: Operators situated remotely from jack IIII may attain connection with the line wire I I and telegraph set I by manual trunking to similar jacks or by automatic trunking through an automatic connector switch I2I for telegraph service. The connector switch is of the type described on page 59 in Smith and Campbells book identified above,
and the relay I22 in the drawing is the wiper closing relay which is energized following a busy test of the line and which remains closed during the then ensuing connection. Other details of equipment I0 are identical with the details of equipment 9.
It will be seen that the system above described constituting one embodiment of the present invention provides equipment for a single communication line of two conductors such that telegraph messages originating at the substation and extending to the central office or further and conversely, telegraphic messages originating in the central office or more remote parts and terminating in the substation I may be served by the telegraph equipment on the line wires II and 44 over the line wires II and 44 without interference from any possible operation of telephonic apparatus, either substation or central ofiice, after the line wires I I and 44 have been taken for telegraphic purposes; also that the line wires I I and. 44 may be taken for telephonic service by the substation equipment 2 or by any one of the equipments 3, 5, and 6 to provide telephone service over the line wires II and 44 in either direction and without the possibility of interference by any telegraphic equipment associated with the line after the moment when the line wires are taken for telephone service. There is complete independence in the two services given bythe two sets of equipment .upon the line wires and 411, with the feature that the line wires may be taken at any point of access for either class of service to the exclusion of all service of either-class which may attemptto use the line.
