The relay `CTM is known as. the control tone master relay and its .contacts 'foperate througha .-hangover circuit comprising resistances 48, 49 and a condenser 50 to provide a slow release operation; for relay RSS. 'I'he other relays of the receivingy switching circuit perform several functions 'as'V follows.k First, the circuit 26 controlsa normally open circuit between the telegraph band'elirnination filter 28 and the detector l45y including ,a speech amplifier 30. This is provided -so -that when control tone is first received, the receiving switching circuit 26 will be operated thereby and then held operated thereafter by speech currents flowing through the amplifier 38. Y l
The 4receiving switching circuit falso controlsl "the receiving singing` suppressor'il to I4open up the" speechrpath.v The receiving switching circuit 25 also controls' a normally closed path between the band-pass filter 3 I and the telegrad 32` sol that-while speech is being received thetelegrad 32 will vbe disabled. At the'same time, the receiving switching circuit 2 6 controls the switch.-
`ingrelays for two` telegraph channels 33.
During pauses in the speechyeither when the l .subscriber at the distant end is'talking into i: channel I or during the time when the subscriber onchannelv I pauses', during his talk outover the antenna I3, the telegraphapparatus shown in the` upper part of the figure is in operation.
This comprises periorators 34 andA 35 Working lrespectively into tape transmitters 36 and 31 'and thenceintof'rotary distributor 38. `Rotary distributor 38 works through the control circuit 21., which in turnexercises control over the telerkgraphV signal `suppressor 39.
IA source of telegraph signal :tone is supplied byy theiztelegraph signal oscillator.,40 and through the action of `the telegraph signal lsuppressor 39y under the vcntrolfof the control. circuit 21 sends telegraph Ysignals into the hybrid coil IIl, thence through the hybrid coil II and the radio transmitter I2,
and out over the radiofpath from antenna I3.
At the distance end these telegraph signals in the form of Vspurts of alternating current are received over antenna I4 and radio receiver I5 and thence pass through the hybrid coils I1 and I8 to the band-pass filter 3l. Thereafter the signals enter the telegrad 32 and areconverted from varying strength alternating current signals to uniform strength direct current signals of practically the same length at which they were received over the antenna I4. These directeurrent signals then pass through the switching relay'circuit 33 yand the`rotary distributor 4I vto During the reception of telegraph signals the receiving switching circuit'26 is unoperated and the speech path is blocked off by the receiving singing suppressor I9.` f
A line 44 schematically represents the means `for keeping the rotary distributor 38 in exact synchronism with the distantrotary distributor 4I. The rotary distributor 38 and the rotary Vreasons having to do with the cost of synchronizing apparatus, but t froman operating standpoint it is only necessary that the rotary distributors forming part of the same channel be kept in synchronism.
The receiving singing suppressor I9 is a circuit controller and is shown in detail in Fig. 2. The relay'RSS, Vwhich is one of the relays of the receivingl switching circuit operated by the detector 45, is provided with an armature and a front and'aback contact. When the relay is in its idle condition a connection is made from a negative battery through a resistance 5I, the backv lcontact and armature of relay RSS to charge a condenser 52 negatively. This condenser whose other'terininal is grounded, controls the grids lof two .vacuum ' tubes 53 and 54. When the condenser 52 is charged negatively, the vacuum tubes 53 and 54 are conditioned to prevent the flow `of voicecurrents from the in terminals 55 to theout terminals 56. When the relay RSS is operated and the condenser 52 is short-circuited through'the front contact and armature of relay RSS and the resistance 51 to ground, the vacuum tubes 53 and 54 are conditioned to allow free passage of-voicelcurrents from the vin terminals55 to the out terminals 56. 1
- Since the armature of relay -RSS therefore controls a circuit which results in one case in the building up of av charge on condenser 52 and in the othercase in the dissipating of a `charge charging of this condenser takes a nite time,
- theresult will be that the circuit controller opens and closes the speech path from'the hybrid coil I8 to the receiving repeater 20 slowly.
9 This finite time may be'flxed by adjusting the values of thecondenser 52 andthe resistances 5I and 51. By way of example the charge and the discharge of condenser 52 may be made to occur lin Ythirty milliseconds or practically the` time comparable to that rtaken for the envelope of a spoken syllable to reach its crest. c Y
Thus when control tone first comes in over antenna I4 and results in the operationl of relay RSS, thespeech path through the receiving `singingsuppressor vI9 is operated slowly so that the listening subscriber will not be annoyed by the clicks caused by the ysudden change in circuit conditions. Likewise, at the end of a period 'of speech and after the hang-over'period profaffords. In the intervals between received words,
or in brief pauses in speech which are not long enough to cause the listener to take. control of the circuit, the receiving singing suppressor I9 disables the path' to the listener, preventing him :from being ldisturbed by noise or cross-talk.
This'results in a distinct improvement in circuit utilization, permitting the use on traffic of noisy circuits which without the noise suppression would be uncommercial. y
That part of the circuit between and including the radio transmitter I2 and the radio receiver I5 is spoken of asa mutable link since it comprises a signaling.l channel capable of or liable to change fromA internal or external cause which may give rise ito .interfering energy or more specifically, subject4 to noise, fading or change of attenuation. rIt is to be understood, however, kthat the present showingispby way of example and that the term mutable linkldoes not necessarily mean that a. space radio link is in- Aon condenser 52, and since the charging anddisvariably involved but that the term` is broader in its meaningand includes any channel liable to change `from internal or external change.
