THOMAS A. EDISON, OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO THE GOLD AND STOCK TELEGRAPH COMPANY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
'IMPROVEMENT IN CIRCUITS FOR PRlNTlNG-TELEGRAPHS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 140,489, dated July 1, 1873; application filed February 18, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS A. EDISON, of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented an Improvement in Circuits for Printing Telegraph Instruments, of which the following is a specification In this instrument two relay-magnets are in a main-line circuit and their cores or armatures are polarized. The electro-magnets are so made that a pulsation of one polarity will attract one armature and repel the other, and the reverse when a current of opposite polarity is sent. The armatures of these electromagnets open and close the circuits of a local battery,in which is placed the type-wheel and. printing-magnets of a printing-telegraph instrument. \Vhen pulsations of one polarity act in the relay-magnets the type-wheel magnet of the printing-telegraph will be operated, and when a reverse polarity is sent through the relay-magnet the printing-circuit will be operated.
In the drawing, Figure 1 is a plan of the relay-magnets, and Fig. 2 represents'the printin g instrument and the circuits in which it is connected.
I remark that the printing instrument is to be of any desired character adapted to use with two circuit-connections, a b, such circuits passing, respectively, through the printinglnagnet d and type-wheel magnet e. c represents the battery for the circuits at b, and this is connected with the circuit-closing levers f and 9, upon which are the polarized armatures hi of the relay-magnets k l. These magnets k I are in the main circuit from the battery 1n, and when the key 1?. at the distant station is depressed the pulsation passing through the magnets k 1 will be of negative polarity, and when 0 is depressed will be of positive polarity.
The electromagnets ls l are so made that when the key or pulsator 0 is operated, the magnet 70 will be operative upon its armature h to close and open the circuit b to the typewheel magnet e and the armature i will be re pelled; but when the type-wheel has been set the key it is to be depressed and the polarity reversed to act upon the armature z, and close the circuit a through the printing-magnets d, repelling the armature h.
By this transmitting mechanism the circuits a b can be operated at the distant station or stations with reliability and facility over a single line main circuit.
Iremark that a pulsator-wheel and indexhand corresponding with the type-wheel may take the place of the keys at o.
The polarization of the electro-magnets may be elfected by permanent magnetism in the core or armature, or in any convenient manner.
I claim as my invention Two polarized electro-magnets in a main circuit, in combination With two local circuitconnections to the magnets ofa printing instrument, and a mechanism for opening and closing the main circuit and reversing the polarity of the current, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
Signed by me this 13th day of February, A. D. 1873.
