TELEGRAPH SYSTEM Filed D80. 19, 1927 INVENTOR.
12B. Shane/0 ATTORNEY Patented @ct. 22, 1929 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ROY B. SHANCK, OF FLUSI-IING, NEW YORK, AssrGNoR T AMERICAN TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY, A CORPORATION or NEW YORK TELEGRAPH SYSTEM Application filed December 19, 1927. Serial No. 241,085.
This invention relates to telegraph systems and more particularly to improved arrangements for transmitting a break signal over such systems.
When telegraph transmission is taking place from one station to another, it is often desirable for the receiving operator to interrupt the sender. This is accomplished usually by the opening of the key at the receiving station and the sending of a break signal. This break signal will reverse the direction of transmission and will cut off the sending apparatus at the first station and connect the receiving apparatus to the line thereat. In
1 the arrangements of this invention one of the cardinal features thereof consists in the utilization of alternating current for the transmission of the break signal. This use of alternating current in connection with the break feature would have the advantage that any material interference due to earthpotential differences could be avoided.
Furthermore, if used differentially with av ground return, as in the arrangements of the invention, there will be no appreciable tendency for interference of the alternating current with telegraph transmission. Other features and objects of the invention will appear more fully from the detailed description hereinafter given.
The invention may be more fully understood from the following description together with the accompanying drawing in the figure of which is shown a circuit diagram illustrating a preferred form of the invention.
The circuit diagram shows a metallic twoway non-duplex polar telegraph system interconnecting the stations A and B. Station A is shown in the sending condition and station B in the receiving condition. At station A there is provided the differential loopcircuit 1, which will include a battery, a key 2, sounder 3, a break release relay BER and a sending relay SR. The sending relay SR will control the application of currents of opposite polarity from the battery 6 to the conductors 4 and 5. Included in conductors 4 and 5 are the primary windings of a break transformer BT. The break transformer BT will have two equal primary windings so arranged as to be series opposed. It will have a third or secondary winding in circuit with a break relay BR. The conductors A and 5 may be connected to the line L over the contacts of a transfer relay TR. A receiving relay BB is provided which also may be connected to line L over another set of contacts of the transfer relay. An alternating current generator is connected from ground to the midpoints of the windings of the receiving relay RR. The windings of the receiving relay RR are arranged so as to be parallel opposed. The arrangements at station B are identical with those at station A. Like parts atboth stations have been designated with like reference characterswith the addeddesignation prime. y 1
"The operation of the arrangements of the invention is as follows:
As' has been pointed out stations A and B are shown in condition for sending from A to 'B. The sending relay SR will send from battery 6 over conductors 4 and 5, through the primary'windings of break transformer BT, and over line L to the receiving relay RR. This will not effect the break relay BR as the primary windings of transformer BT are connected series opposed. These signals will operate relay'cRR. Relay RR has connected between the midpointsof its windings and roundthe alternating current generator 10'. Burrent from this generator has no effect on receiving relay RR as its windings are parallel opposed. However, this current will be transmitted in parallel to. ground through bothprimary windings of break transformer BT and will cause the break relay BR to operate. This will cause the armature 7 of the break relay to attract against the pull of a RR and connectsthe line L to the transmitting apparatus at station B. It will be seen that this removes the alternating current generator 10 from the line L. Accordingly, the break relay BR at station A will release and allow its armature 7 to fall back and close the circuit 8 of the transfer relay TR. This will operate the transfer relay, which will disconnect the transmitter apparatus from the line L and will connect thereto the receiving relay HR. The operation of the transfer relay TR will open at its third and fourth armatures from the top a holding circuit for the receiving relay RR. It is pointed out that in the leads from these armatures are the resistances 1" and 11 These resistances should be so adjusted that when the holding circuit for relay RE is closed a condition of balance through both of its windings will exist so that it will not be operated by thegenerator 10. It will be seen, that in response to the break signal at station B, the above operations have arranged the circuit for transmission in the opposite direction.
VV'hile the invention has been disclosed in certain specific arrangements which have been deemed desirable, it is understood that it is capable of embodiment in many and other and means at said distant station when in a receiving condition for applying alternating current over the sides of said metallic circuit and primary windings of said transformer in parallel for controlling said break relay.
4. A metallic telegraph circuit interconnecting two stations, a transformer at one station having two primary windings arranged to be parallel aiding and connected to opposite sides of said metallic circuit when said station is in a sending condition, a break relay controlled by said transformer, a transfer relay controlled by the release of said break relay for switching said station from a sending to a receiving condition, means at a distant station when in a receiving condition for applying an alternating current over the sides of said metallic circuit and windings of said transformer in parallel for maintaining said break relay in an operated condition, and means at said last mentioned station for disconnecting said alternating current from said metallic circuit.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification this 16th day of December, 1927.
