Definitions

  • the invention refers to a termination for telegraph purposes, which can function as repeating coil between direct current lines, e. g. local lines and trunk lines for separated transmissionand reception way, preferably channels of voice frequency telegraph ystems.
  • a drawback of the arrangement in this application is that transmission to the local teleprinter is effected by interrupting the line current. This method of transmission is much worse than transmission by shortcircuiting this line.
  • Another drawback of the mentioned arrangement is the fact that the emission of the trunk reception way to the trunk transmission way is prevented by simultaneous removal of the control grid voltage and the screen grid voltage of a tube, which may cause difficulties if these two voltages are not reduced quickly enough or non-simultaneously to zero. Further the method contained in this application has been restricted to amplitude modulated telegraph carrier systems.
  • the arrangements according to the invention avoids these drawbacks by applying a repeating coil containing a circuit with a current regulator tube, a picking off (finding) resistance and a battery, and a second circuit with a short-circuiting tube and another battery of oppo ite polarity,
  • the arrangement according to the invention has the profit that owing to the absence of transition times of controlling relays a coupling with a frequency modulated telegraph carrier system is possible with a spacingand a marking frequency per channel, this being in contrast with the carrier frequency and the spacingand marking frequency which are usual in those systems.
  • the invention will be illustrated nearer by means of the added figure, which represents the principal diagram of a termination (hybrid coil) according to the invention.
  • the teleprinter which in principle is represented by the transmission contacts ZC and the receiving coils OB is connected via a local line to the terminals l and 2 of the hybrid coil.
  • the terminal 2 is connected to an earthed pole of the battery, while the terminal l via a current-regulator tube B3 and the series arrangement of the resistance RI and R is connected to the negative pole of the battery VI.
  • the regulator tube B2 regulates the strength of current in this circuit at 40 ma. with the help of the control tube B2. It is also possible, however, at the cost of a separate source for screen grid voltage, to substitute the two tubes -B2 and for a pentode tube, in a manner as described in U. S. patent application Serial No. 767,533, filed July 30, 1947.
  • the cathode of the control tube B2 is connected to a fixed voltage derived from the potentiometer RB/R l.
  • the voltage drop across the R3 resistance is for instance 6 volts.
  • the Rll' resistance connected in series with the potentiometer Rt/R l can for instance be the memori connected filament wires of the tubes BlB3.
  • the control grid of the tube B2 is connected across a protecting resistance RID to a tap of the potentiometer Rl/RZ, which is so positioned that the voltage drop via the R2 resistance at a line current of 40 ma. for instance amounts to 5 volts.
  • the B2 tube has a negative control grid bias of 1 volt.
  • a current increase in the local line has 'th reverse effect.
  • the result of this regulating arrangement is that the voltage drop via the resistances R! and R2, when the current is flowing in the local line, is constant and independent of the local line resistance.
  • the drawn teleprinter transmits by interrupting the local line in a particular rhythm by the help of the transmission contacts 20 the voltage via the series arrangement of the resistances RI plus R2 disappears in the same rhythm.
  • the voltage drop via these resistances is used by means of the cell or diode G3 to control the generator arrangement of the tube B l.
  • the hybrid coil arrangement according to the invention yields the possibility of a special combination with frequency modulated voice frequency telegraph systems.
  • the fre- 3 quency' modulation can consists in the returning of a spacing frequency generator to the marking frequency.
  • the example of the embodiment contains a generator which is extremely suitable for this purpose; to couple back the anode to the control grid use is made in this arrangement of a number of R.-C. circuits (RE-1 and C
  • the value of the resistances R5! and the condensers Cl-3 to be chosen simultaneously determines the generated frequency. This frequency can for instance be modified by connecting in parallel other resistances to one or more of these resistances.
  • the Rlil resistance which has been bridged by the condenser CQ, applies a negative control grid bias to the generator tube.
  • the junction point of the resistances R5l is kept at a voltage, which for instance lies above that of the negative pole of the bat tery.
  • the voltage drop over the resistances RI and R2 in the local line circuit varies between G and 30 volts.
  • the cell G3 is nonconductive in the other case it is conductive, so that the R8 resistance from A. C. point of view is connected parallel to the R6 resistance, changing the generator arrangement frequency with the desired amount. If this should be necessary in particular cases, more than one cell G3 and resistance R8 can be equipped between the cathode of the current regulator tube and the coupling points of the condensers of the various R.-C. parts of the generator arrangement.
  • the voice frequency alternating currents can be transmitted to the part of the voice frequency system that has not been shown.
  • the generator arrangement frequency is detuned in the same rhythm as the local line is interrupted with the teleprinter transmission contacts.
  • the frequency modulated voice frequency A. C. voltages which have been received via the trunk reception route, are applied to the terminals and 6 of the drawn circuit arrangement.
  • This reception side consists in two transformers TR2 and TR3, which with the condensers Cl and C8 have been so tuned that the circuit Ll/Cl comes in resonance for instance on the spacing frequency, while the circuit T2 C3 reverberates at the marking frequency.
  • the voltages applied to the secondaries of these transformers are rectified for instance with the indicated quadrangular arrangement of cells G! and G2.
  • the rectified voltage is smoothed a little by the filter elements C5 and Rl3, respectively CE and RM, the resistances RH: and 16 forming a loading resistance.
  • the two resulting D. C. voltages have been so switched that dependent on the fact whether the spacing frequency or the marking frequency is received, as with respect to the cathode of the tube B4 negative or positive voltage is issued, which via the protecting resistance Hi2, which if desired can be substituted for a diode, is applied to the control grid of the tube B4.
  • the tube B4 changes from the nonconductive condition to the conductive condition on the rhythm of the received signals.
  • the B l tube, the so-called short-circuiting tube is connected between the wire connected to terminal I of the local line and the positive pole of the voltage source, the negative pole of which is earthed.
  • the cathode of this tube obtains about earth potentiality or, if desired, yet a slight positive voltage.
  • the local line is short-circuited over a slight resistance which may be neglected for the transmission. This is the best way to transmit signals from the repeating coil to the teleprinter.
  • the current through the regulator tube remains 4O ma, so that the current through the short-circuiting tube cannot be more than 40 ma. either.
  • the voltage drop over the resistances Rl and R2 also remains constant, so that there is no reaction of the trunk reception channel on the trunk transmission channel.
  • the figure also contains a condenser C4, the function of which is the improvement of the transmission in the local line while the teleprinter is transmitting to the repeating coil.
  • the drawn repeating coil can transmit double current to the local line such as it is desired for some types of teleprinters, by enlarging the positive battery V2, so that the line is not short-circuited when the B4 tube becomes conductive, but that the local line current is inverted.
  • the direction of the cell or diode G3 can be chosen arbitrarily, as the potentiality of the regulator tube B3 cathode can be either positive or negative with respect to the potentiality of the coupling point of the R5'! resistances during the transmission of the indicated teleprinter. It is also possible to apply various cells G3 in co-operation with appropriate resistances, one set of which is switched in for instance on a marking signal,
