Title: Improvements in or relating to storage of electrical impulses
IPC: H04Q3/42
Filed: 1945-09-27
Abstract: 603,106. Automatic exchange systems. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd., BRAY, F. H., and RIDLER, D. S. Sept. 27, 1945, No. 25080. [Class 40 (iv)] In an electrical circuit, information is recorded by triggering thermistor circuits from one stable position to another. The apparatus may be used as a regenerative repeater for impulse trains. Upon seizure, relay A operates, causing relay B to mark the repeater busy. Line impulses received on relay A step switch RS to a position corresponding to the first digit. At the end of an impulse train, slow relay C releases followed by CC and the thermistor circuit associated with the point reached by the switch is triggered by battery through YA. Succeeding digits each cause a thermistor circuit to be triggered in a similar manner. A relay V is also operated by CC which connects machine impulse springs MCS1 in parallel with relay IG. When these springs open, relay IG operates and removes a short circuit from further springs MCS2. A switch. SS is then stepped by the operation of springs MCS1 while outgoing impulses are emitted by MCS2 until the wiper ssm1 reaches a triggered thermistor. The surge of current then produced fires a cold cathode tube CCT operating relay Y which stops the switch, shunts MCS2 and causes relays W and X to release in turn giving the interdigital pause time and applies reversal battery to restore the thermistor to normal. Operation of X releases Y and permits the circuit to return to conditions for transmitting the next impulse train. When all the stored digits have been sent, the wipers of switches SS and RS will be in alignment and relay Z opens the outgoing impulsing circuits and disconnects V which inserts the supervising relays Land D.
