  • Ihe roleand repeater herein illustrated and described is particularly intended for use in automatic telegm h current impulses sugceed eac the line at'ratcs in excess of those of hand transmission; but my invention is not stems, wherein limited to use in automatic telegraph systerms, but is adaptable for use wherever relays and repeaters are or maybe employed.
  • signaling impulse can actuate the ordinary mam line magnetic signal recciving devices, the main line current, and
  • the magnetism created thereby in; the main line signaling device must necessarily rise to a value such as is required to eifechtfansfor of the armature of that signal receiving device from one to the other of its contact stops. If the time interval here involved can be reduced iii any Way through the medium of local appliances, materially higher speed. of transmission beomes possible together with better signals.
  • My invention comprises means whereby the armature of the receiving instrument is carried over positively from the one stop to the other once that armature has been started in motion; and further comprises means whereby such movement of the armature ls sturtcd. by local means, upon the diminution of the main line current Which previously held that armature stationary against one or the other of its stops, and whereby the armature is caused to anticipate in its operation, the arrival of the next succeeding; line signaling impulse.
  • my invention compri es various other features, all. as hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
  • the objects of my invention are to increase the effective speed of transmission 0 signals over telegraph circuits and the like, to reduce lag in repetition of signals, to obtain improved and sharper signals, particularly on high speed lines, to minimize the other through efiects of induction and other influences tending to produce false signals, to avoid sparking between the moving tongue or armature of the relay and the contact points with Whichsuch tongue coacts, thus permitting very close adjustment of such. contact points to the said tongue, and consequent small amplitude 01" movement of the tongue and brief duration of travel thereof, to permit a local recording or rcpeating instrument to start to operate to inoke a. record before the contact tongue of the main relay shall have completedits travel from the one contact stop to the other, to completely separate the opposing and accelerating circuits-of'the relay from. the line circuit, and

  • windings 11 mainline coils, the windings 1 2 opposing, coils and the windings 13 ac celerating coils, and will term coils l2 and 13, collectively, auxiliary electromagnetic means.
  • Thev windings 11 are, as shown, in the main line circuit 6; the windings 12 are in a local circuit branch (traced hereafter) and controlled by the contact stops 8 and 9 and armature lever 7; and the windings 13 are also in a local circuit branch.
  • the pars ticular function of theopposing windings or coils 12 is to develop a polarity of magnetism that, shall always be opposed to the magnetism created by the main line coils 11, the magnetism created by the-opposing COIlS 12 not being so strong, however as that created by the working current of. the main line 6 in coils 11.
  • the particular function of the accelerating coils 13 is to carry the armature -7 across the gap between stops 8 and 9, once the armature lever 7 has been set in motion as hereinafter described.

  • the current from generator-18 through the opposite balancing resistance, 24, passes directly to ground at 23 through armature lever 7, and does not affect the opposing coils 12; but because of resistance 24, the'circuit through such resistance 24 does not completely short the circuit, as traced above, through re sistance 19.
  • the movement of the armature lever 7 may be completed before the movement of the transmltting key 1 is completed; that the movement of armature lever 7 may actually begin before transmitting key 1 has made contact with its stop 2 3, and before the next signaling impulse to which such movement of the armature lever 7 corresponds, has even begun.

  • the condenser 25, having charged immediately upon the reestablishment of on rent flow from the generr'itor 18 is in conditi 11 to act again from reverse movement of transmitting key 1 from stop '3 to stop 2.
