Title: Improvements in Automatic Telephone Exchange Systems.
Filed: 1913-01-15
Granted: 1914-01-08
Abstract: 1223. Western Electric Co., [Wohler, F.]. Jan. 15. Automatic exchange systems.-In a system in which the subscribers are divided into more and less privileged classes, the testing and release arrangements are such that a connexion between two subscribers is broken down automatically when either of them is called by a subscriber belonging to a more privileged class than the subscriber bv whom the existing connexion was made. The Figure represents the connector test-circuits at a private branch exchange. The connectors P1, P2 belong to public exchange lines, N1, N2 to privileged subscribers w h o c a n make exchange as well as local connexions, and H1, H2 to unprivileged subscribers to whom connexion with the exchange lines is impossible. The release magnet of each connector has two windings, which are connected to the test-wiper in the second and third positions, respectively, of the side-switch U. The second winding requires more current than the first, and the magnets of the more privileged subscribers require more current than those of the less privileged. The windings a, b, c, d, c, and f may for instance respond to 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 amperes. When any of the connectors tests a line which is engaged in an existing connexion, a circuit is closed through the first release-winding of the testing connector and the second release-winding of the connector through which the existing connexion is made, and of these connectors the one belonging to the less - privileged subscriber is released, or, if they both belong to subscribers of the same class, the interfering connector is released. The grading of the current, so as to be intermediate between the strengths required for releasing the two connectors, is effected by wiring the release-windings a, b, c, &c. to various points of the divided battery Ba.
