Title: Improvement in Selective Signalling Systems for Party Lines.
IPC: B61L7/08
Filed: 1911-06-30
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 15,321. Western Electric Co., [Craft, E. B.]. June 30. Time signals.-Each station of a party-line telephone system in connexion with a railway system is provided with a step-by-step selector adapted to close a circuit for vibrating a signalling-bell in response to an individual number of impulses, and in response to a second number, common to all the stations, to close a circuit for operating it as a single-stroke bell, for giving time signals. The ratchet-wheel 15 at a station 3 is stepped round by means of the quick-acting magnet 13, the pawls being controlled by the slow-acting magnet 14. The arm 16 carried by the wheel is arranged to touch two contacts 17 and 18, the first being differently, the other similarly, placed at each station. The first contact closes a circuit through the armature 22 and coils of the bell 11, the second one closing a circuit through the coils of the bell only. The currents for selecting any station are sent from the despatcher's station A by means of the notched disk 35, which, when rotating, operates the relays 32, 33 to send current impulses to line when the switch 37 is in the position shown. The disk 38 similarly sends out the impulses for calling up all the stations together when the switch-arm 37 is moved to the right. The impulses for giving the time signals by separate strokes on the bell are sent by closing the circuit of the relay 40, which, by means of the relay 39, breaks the circuit of the impulse relays 32, 33. Retardation coils 3, 4, and 5 are connected in the lines to smooth out the impulses.

Controlling-apparatus, arrangements of hand, foot, and transmission g e a r in conjunction with.-Comprises control means for two - speed epicyclic gear contained in an engine fly-wheel and operated by expanding brakes. The fly - wheel C carries double planet-pinions K, which gear with a wheel W<1> fixed on the driven shaft D and a wheel V<1> on a loose sleeve X. When the planet-pinions are locked on their axles by means of expanding brakes J, the gear is inoperative and the shaft D rotates w i t h the engine shaft Y. For the low speed, the wheel V<1> is prevented from rotating by means of an expanding brake W carried by a stationary disk U. The gear is operated by a rock-shaft F having arms E carrying rollers P, which engage in a groove in a ring A sliding on pins B secured to the fly-wheel. The ring A is secured in either of its extreme positions by spring studs G, and the rollers P are narrower than the groove so that they only bear against the ring during the shifting of the gear. The brakes J are expanded by an eccentric H operated by a bell-crank lever M, and a pin L carried by the ring A. The low-speed brake W is also expanded by an eccentric operated by an arm Z on the rock-shaft F. The rock-shaft is operated by means of arms R, which are connected by a rod M<1> to a lever N<1> pivoted at O<1>. A hand-lever S, also pivoted at O<1>, is connected to the lever N' through strong springs B' so that normally the two levers move together. When the lever S is secured in either of its extreme positions by notches U', the lever N<1> can be brought back to its middle or free-engine position by means of a pedal C<1> which forces rollers P' against the lower end of the lever; when the pedal is released, the springs B<1> return the lever N' into its position in line with the lever S. In a modification, the pedal C', which may also operate the cam brakes, rotates a cam plate which acts on a pin on the lever N<1> and so brings it to its middle position.
