Abstract: 11,998. Automatic Telephone Manufacturing Co., [Automatic Electric Co.]. May 22. [A Systems for transmitting music, news, and the like.-The special transmitting-circuit is normally connected at the exchange to all the subscribers' lines so that any subscriber can connect his loud-speaking receiver to this circuit by merely operating a key. When the subscriber calls, or is called, the special transmitting-circuit is automatically disconnected, this being effected in automatic systems by the subscriber's line-switch or the connector, and in manual systems by the insertion of the answering or calling plug. In the manual system shown in Fig. 6, a subscriber can connect a loud-speaking receiver 210 across his line by depressing a key K<1>, the news-distributing or like circuit 211, 212 being connected in parallel with the line relay 206. When the operator inserts an answering or calling plug, the cut-off relay 207 disconnects the special circuit. The news-distributing circuit may include both line wires in parallel and an earth return. Instead of connecting the special transmitting-circuit to the lines at the line-switch in automatic systems, or at the cut-off relay in manual systems, it may be done at the distributing frame, in which case a special relay, connected in parallel with the cut-off relay, must be provided for disconnecting the circuit when the line is used. Automatic exchange systems.-In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the special transmitting- circuit 15, 11 is connected through condensers 13, 14 in parallel with the line relay 10, controlling the line-switch C. The armature 6, which is operated when a call is made or received by the holding winding 9, disconnects both the line relay and the transmitting-circuit. In the system described, the master-switch D and the group selectors operate as described in Specification 1419/10, and the connector as described in Specification 1421/10. The circuit 15, 11 may be replaced by a jack and condensers connected in parallel with the line relay so that a news-distributing circuit, provided with an ordinary plug, may be connected at will to the line through the jack. The loud-speaking receiver 2 is connected to line through condensers 3, 4 so that the line-switch is not operated when the key K' is depressed.
