Patent GB-190913750-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Telephone Exchanges.
IPC: H04M15/10
Filed: 1909-06-11
Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 13,750. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. June 11. Metering systems. - In a telephone metering system wherein repeated operation of the meter Z is prevented by means of a relay D, which either closes a holding-on circuit for the meter or cuts off the energizing current, the circuit of this relay is completed by a second relay ZCR energized when the meter has been properly actuated. The depression of the metering-key T completes a circuit from the battery B through a relay R, winding w<1> of the relay ZCR, contact d, answering- plug AS and winding z' of the meter back to the battery. The attraction of the armature e energizes the winding w<2>, but the winding w<1> predominates until the meter is fully actuated when the contact f is broken ; the insertion of the winding z<1> into the meter circuit reduces the current through the winding w<1> to such an extent that the armature g swings over, completing the circuit of a control lamp ZCL, and also a circuit from the battery B' through the winding v<1> of the relay D, contact h, lamp L, and armature g to ground. The lamp L does not light up until the winding v<1> is short-circuited by the attraction of the armature i which completes a holding-on circuit through the windings v<2>, z<1>, z<2>, independent of the key T. The lamp ZCL thus indicates the actuation of the meter and the lamp L the operation of the relay D. The two lamps L, ZCL may be replaced by a single lamp L', or by a buzzer. The relay D may also control contacts k in the cordcircuit whereby conversation is prevented until the meter has been properly actuated.
