- the line relay of the selector switch E is thereupon energized over a circuit extending from ground G through-vl the lower Winding of said relay', springs S2 and 182j", thence over the'hea'vy conductors to and through the substation A and back over .the other side of the liii'e through the left 'hand winding of the meter magnet' 29, springs 83 and 83 and upper winding of line relay 35 to the battery lead 80.
- the relay 35 upon energizing, closes the circuit of the relay 39;, which, in .-tuin, p
- gization of the relay 39 at the selector E also completes, a circuit extending from .ground G* through springs 85, springs v20 and 16, through/the4 rightl hand Jiivinding of the meter magnet 29 and the springs *61,n and 6l to.- the battery lead 80.
- the current in this Winding is in opposition't''tlie current nowing through the line winding, and the inagnet is, therefore, not operated at thiswtime.
- the ⁇ springs 60 and 6,1 disengage atelyfup'on' the operating of the lunger arin 9 which prevents the circuit of t e line rehiy 22 from aga in being closed until the plunger arm 9 is again restored to normal position in front of an idle terminal.
- the master switch D Upon the closure of thesprings 17 and 21 by the operation of the switch C, the master switch D operates in a well known manner to advance the plungers of the idle line switches to ⁇ a position opposite an idle trunk line.
- the calling subscriber now operates his calling device'for the first digit 2 of the called number, whereby the substation impulse springs 6 and 7 are separated twice momentarily, eafh time breaking 'the circuit of the selector line relay 35.
- the relay 39 of the selector being slow acting, does .not denergize during the momentary interruptions -of its circuit by the relay 35, and
- Thefslow acting relay40 is ,maintained in its energized posltion con# tinuously while impulses arebeing transf mitted hto the vertical magnet through it, and in its energized position closes a circuit from grpund Gr through the springs 94 and 93 and private magnet 95 to thebattery' lead 80.
- the relay 40 upon denergizing, o ens the circuit of the private magnet 95, w ich.
- the private magnet extends from oundG1 through springs 99 and 100, and t e private magnet 95 to battery B. If the first trunk line leading from the second level of bank ⁇ contacts of the 'selector E is in use, the pri- ⁇ vate wiper 32 will find the rprivate bank contacts supplied with a gua ing ground :..V-jpotential. a circuit will than .be closed wffthrough theprivate magnet 95 after vthe rota f [magnet d'ener 'zes, extending from 'ground at'the pnvatewiper through the yswitch wiper 63 in 'second position), 4then"through, maiettto battery.
- vs i'd'eswitch 1s' thus eld in second posi?V tion and the rotary magnet upon denergizing again closes its own circuit at springs 97 and 98 and operates to step the shaft wipers to the next bank contacts. If the next contacts are also busy the Voperation will be re#l peated, the rotary magnet operating in a manner similar to that of a buzzer to rotate the shaft wipers onto bank contacts connected to an idle trunk line, at which time the private magnet denergizes and allows the side switch to pass from second to third position.
- the wi er 62, 'upon passing to third position shi s the battery connection from the rotary magnet 34 to the line switching relay 102, thus closing a circuit through the relay 102.
- This circuit extends from ground- G* through springs 85, relay 102 and wiper 62 to battery B.
- a circuit also extends from springs through wiper Y 63 (in third position) to the private wiper 32.
- the relay 102 upon energizing, operates to disconnect the line relay 35 from the line and to connect the calling line through to the line relay 51 ⁇ of the connector H, and also operates to open the circuit of the release magnet 36. at springs 103 and 104.
- the line relay upon being disconnected from the line denergizes and allows the relay 39 lto denergize'.
- the -relay 39 being slow acting til a ground has been supplied to the release trunk conductor 140 bythe relay 160 of the connector switch H as will be later more fully explained.
- the line relay 51 of the connector thereupon becomes energized and closes the circuit of the relay 160.
- the relay 160 upon energizing, provides a holding circuit for the line switching relay 102 of the selector switch E, and for the hold in winding 12 of the line switch C.
- the circuit for the line switching relay 102 extends from ound G -through the springs 123, conuctor 140, wiper 32, side switch wiper 63,
- the circuitfor the hol inwinding 12 extends .over the above traced circuit to side switch wiper 63, thence 'throu bank contacts20 and 16 and the said hold 1n windingtov battery B.
- the relay 164 opens the circuit of the private magnet 50, whichupon denergizing, permits the side switchvto advance from first to second position.' vThe movement of the side switch wiper 49 from first to second position transfers the battery connection from the vertical magnet 44 to ther tary magnet 45.
- the relay 164 operates in response to this digit in thesame manner as for the previous digit, to cause the private magnet toadvance the side switch one more position, that is, from second to third position after the last'impulse for the digitis transmitted.
- the side switch wipers 46 and 47 By the engagement of the side switch wipers 46 and 47 with their third position contact points the line connection is finally completed to the calledgnumber.
- the ringing relay is energized only intermittently through the medium of the interrupter 171.
- the vcalled subscriber his line is provided with. talking current through the windings of the back circuit for itself through its own springs 176 independent of the" springs of the back bridge relay 52.
- a further result of the energization of the relay 52 upon the response of the called subscriber, is the transposition of the connection between the windings of the line relay 51 and trunk conductors 138 .a 1d 139, whereby the direction of current in t-U e calling line is reversed.
- This reversal of the current in the'left hand winding of the subscribers meter relay 29 causes the two windings to assist one another to op erate the meter to register the call.
- the connection is released by the hanging up of the receiver at the calling substation in the following manner:
- the separation of the hook switch springs 73 and '74 destroys the energizing circuit of the line relays 51 (F ig. 2).
- the rela-y 51 de nergizes, and opens the circuit of the relay. 160.
- the relay 160 upon energizing, opens the holding circuits of the relay 102, of the switch E and! of the hold in Winding 12 of line switch C and at'the sametime closes the circuit of the release magnet 53 of the connector H.
- the latter circuit extends from ground G11 through the springs 162 and 16231, springs 163 and.
- the magnet 53 upon energizing, restores the connector switch shaft and side switch to normal position, and its own circuit is interrupted at the springs 178 when the shaft reaches its lowest position.
- the denergization of the relay 102 of the switch E serves to close the circuits of the release magnet 36.
- the circuit for the said magnet exten s from ground G5 through the springs 88 nd 89,
- the relay 190a energizes over this circuit, but is oi sufiicient resistance to prevent the relay 52 from 40 operatively energizing.
- the relay 1902 upon energizing, closes a circuit through the lamp 193.
- the operator, Aupon noting the lowing of the lamp 193l operates the key thereby placing the talking s et across the conductors 165 and 166 and also, due to the make before break arrangement of the, springs 194, 195 and 196, sends one ini lpulse from ground Gslthrough the primary of the induction coil l197 to battery.
- This impulse inducesv an impulse in the secondary of the coil'197, which is in series with the coil-198. ⁇
- the relay 198 is energized by this v,impulseyand operates to momentarily short circuit t e conductors 165 and 166.
- the line switch shown at C 2) operates over a circuit slightly different from that explained for line switch C.
- a circuit is closed extending from ground Gr through springs 211 and 212, conductor 213, thence through substation A', conductor 214, springs" 215 and 216, windings 217 and218 in series to the battery B.
- the current through these windings is not of sufficient strength to at-v tract vthe plungerarm 222 but however, does attract the armature 219 and is 'sufficient tfo hold the plunger in its attracted position. when once operated.
- the operation of thev armature 219 closes a circuit for the coil 218 extending from ground G2 through springs 223 and 224, which are controlled bythe' master switch, thenc ⁇ e through v springs 225 and 226, springs 220 and 221, and the wind-v ing 218 to battery B.4
- the arm 222 is now attractedand operates to force the plunger into the bank of contacts as described for switch (l, separates the springs 225 and 226 and causes the engagement of springs 227 and 228, The separating of contact springs 225 and 226 disconnects the ground from winding 218.
- a discontinued subscriber at :the central oflice can be connected with'a trafiic trunk associated with an operator and the operator can answer and thereby cut off the ringing current at' the connector without permitting the current of the calling side of the line to be reversed for a suliicient length of time to operate the meter.
- I' provide an improved form of self aliningplunger type switch in which the plunger is always in engagement with the plunger sha'Et'i-egardless of Whether the plunger is holdinglthe line in engagement with a trunk or not and which is more positire and efficient in its action.
