Tlciagram shows that the part 11 of the side circuit 11, 12 is connected to the part 15 ot the side circuit 1%, 15 through the high pass filters 1.8 and 19, so that 11, 15 coi'istitutes a carrier current circuit. 'ihe low pass filters 13, 3, i6 and 16 are interposed according to the same principles as in 1. Instead 0t connecting the hi

h lass filters

18 and 19 as at 20 in 1, I connect them through a 1-to-1 ratio repeating coil 22. Similarly, the part 11 of circuit 11, 12 and the part 15 of circuit 1%, 1.5 connected through the high pass wave filters 1S and 19 and the repeating coil 22. Each of the repeating

coils

22 and 22 is shielded with a respective element and 23. These

sl saields

23 and 28 are connected together at The explanation for Fig. 1 will be seen to apply for Fig. 2, and in addition, it will here be pointed out that the transformers at 22 and 22 prevent the phantom circuit voice currents from getting across between the phantom circuit 11, 11 and the

phanton'i circuit

15, 15. Moreover, the shields 25.3 and 23 with the connector 2i insure against capacity current gettting across these phantom circuits due to the proximity of the windings of the

coils

22 and 22. In so "far as there is a capacity effect between these coils, the resulting current will be shunted across at 2 t and will not be transmitted between 11., 11' and 15, 15.

The transformers and 22 are desioned with the proper inuiicdance value so that, as interposed in the line, they do not prcduce substantial. rcfiection eti'ects.

lit will be seen that ll. a pair oi side circuits constituting a phantom ci -cuit passes in proximity to another pair of side circuits constituting a phantom circuit, and it each side circuit and each phantom circuit carries voice frequency currents, then by my invcntion, superposed high frequency carrier currents can be transferred from the parts extending one way of one pair oi side circuits to the parts extending one way of the other pair oi side circuits, and the normal transmission of the Voice currents on the side circuits and the phantom circuits will not be impaired.

shows provision for transferring high frequency carrier currents betwicn one side circuit 11, 12 oi a phantom pair and a simple non-phantom circuit 14., 15. it will be seen that as :lar as it goes the system is subs antially the same as in Fig. This rrangement is useful in eliminating noise from a phantom circuit when the carrier current on one side of the phantom group is transferred to or from a non-phantom circuit. There is no cross-tall: problem involved but the connection of one side of the phantom group through the high pass filters would unbalance the phantom causing noise, and the interposed transformer 22 obviates this disadvantage.

I claim:

1. In combination, two phantom circuits each conun'isinp; a pair of side circuits all adapted for through transmission oi' cur rents of a cer rain frequency range, and means comprising a transformer to transfer currents oi another "frequency range between a side circuit one pair and a side ci cult of the other pair.
